What does the qualification cover?

The aim of the diploma is to give you the tools to become a successful teacher in the real world. That means the core knowledge, understanding and skills needed to work efficiently as a teacher. Above all, you’ll learn key training duties in a learning environment that boosts your effectiveness within the classroom.

When you enrol, you’ll explore the core aspects of teaching, learning and assessment.
