What can I do with the level 5 Diploma in Education & Training ?

The Level 5 Diploma in Education & Training is suitable for those working within FE Colleges, schools, private Training Providers in the UK, Middle East, Asia and abroad, Local Authorities etc.

The main benefit of this Teaching Diploma is that it does not require a previous degree qualification; you can have any NVQ or QCF qualification in your sector and do the DET.

However, the DET course is unsuitable for individuals who teach in primary schools. If you want to teach only primary school children then you should opt for another specialised Initial Teacher Training programme, including the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). PGCE itself makes one eligible to gain the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). The L5 DET qualification we offer is like a PGCE without a Degree for those who want to teach learners aged 14 years and over.

If you want to teach in a primary school or as a teaching assistant, you could also go for the teaching assistant course that can enable you to work with younger children.

What is a Level 5 Diploma in E&T equivalent to?

Completing the L5 Diploma in Education & Training leads to full member status with the Society of Education and Training (SET). You will also qualify to apply for the QTLS (equivalent to the QTS), otherwise known as Fully Qualified Teacher Status. 

Previously, the QTLS formation was available through the Institute for Learning (IfL). This has been phased out and hence, now the Society of Education and Training (SET) provides it. ELN are not involved in the professional formation leading to the QTLS, however, we can provide QTLS members who can mentor you during your own QTLS journey.

This Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training is suitable for the following:

• Assessors and teachers who are beginning OR progressing in their teaching careers,
• Managers and internal quality assurers or internal verifiers (IQA or IV’s) who are also involved in the teaching and assessment process
• External Verifiers and other specialist professionals who work with teaching and assessment in their roles.

Level 5 DET qualifies you to train the trainers in a any specialised sectors such as health and safety trainer, functional skills trainer, beauty trainer, hospitality trainer and many more.

You can customise your qualification to suit your career goals and interests.
