What is the CET?
This qualification develops practical teaching skills and, through the units, prepares teachers to work in a wide range of contexts. To be awarded the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training, a total of 36 credits must be achieved.
Entry requirements
– There is a practical requirement for a minimum of 30 hours of teaching practice.
– You need to be working with individuals 14+ years
Other requirements for the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training are for all trainee teachers completing the Level 4 qualification to have or work towards a minimum of level 2 in numeracy, literacy and ICT. Level 2 is equivalent to GCSE A-C grade. It is not essential to complete the numeracy, literacy and ICT qualifications before starting the CET course.
