The  Level 5 Diploma in Education and Traingin (DET) programme is the recognised teaching qualification for the post-16 sector and is equivalent to the second year of a UK bachelor’s degree. Therefore, upon successful completion of the course, you would be able to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, direct into final (3^rd) year.

Once you have completed your DIT, you will be able to apply for Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS). Once achieved, QTLS is equivalent to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in England, allowing you to work as a qualified teacher in state schools, both in the UK and abroad!

The Diploma in Education and Traingin aims to equip  teachers/trainers with the knowledge and skills required by the further education and skills sector, such as:

• Teaching, learning and assessment in education and training
• Developing teaching learning and assessment in education and training
• Theories, principles and models of education and training
• Wider professional practice and development in education and training

Along with further modules such as Teaching in a specialist area, developing and using resources in a specialist area and inclusive practice

The course typically lasts 6-12 months, depending on the time you are able to spend based on your other commitments.  During this time, you will also have access to your online portal.
