  2. Firstst mentor to sign off 80 hours of subject specialist teaching log and 8 observations,
  3. At least 30 minutes of support each week will be offered to the learner by the mentor until 80 hours are completed,
  4. 1st mentor will do the final assessment of a 30-minute discussion.

  • Secondary Location

  1. 100 hours of non-teaching out of 250 hours to complete activities like working on resources, CPDs, preparing and conducting Standardisation Meetings and preparing minutes, teaching/lesson and assessment plans, SOW, templates, etc
  2. Secondnd Mentors will provide at least 30 minutes of support each week until the required hours are completed and sign off 100 hours of non-teaching activities

Work placements will be offered to teach one of the following courses so that trainee teachers with little or no experience in the subject area can still teach the units with little preparation.

  • Education and Training Qualifications (for example, Level 3 Award in Education and Training)
  • Customer Service Qualifications
  • Business Administration Qualifications
  • Accountancy Qualifications
  • Mathematics Qualifications
  • Literacy Qualifications
  • Employability Skills Qualifications

Once you complete your placement requirement for the Level 5 Diploma in Teaching (FE and Skills), you will be eligible to teach any subject that you so wish. Your choice or allocation of subject for this placement in no way impacts your eligibility to teach other subjects in your professional career.

Your placement will start on completion of Unit 1 of your Level 5 Diploma in Teaching (FE and Skills). This allows teachers to familiarise themselves with the basics of education and training before teaching.

The start date of the course is flexible, as is the case with all other programmes on offer at Britannia School of Academics. For further information about the course, please visit the course page here.
