Our Adult Education and Teacher Training courses are designed to give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to teach, train and support learners in a wide range of educational settings. As part of this education course, you will complete three key units that form the foundation of effective teaching practice:
In this unit, you will learn about the role and responsibilities of a teacher in adult education and training. You will explore how teachers work with learners and with other professionals to create a positive and supportive learning environment.
This unit focuses on inclusive teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of learners. You will develop skills in planning, delivering and evaluating engaging learning sessions that motivate students. A key part of this unit is delivering a microteaching session, which will give you practical classroom experience and allow you to evaluate your own teaching practice.
Assessment is central to teaching and this unit introduces the different types and methods used in education and training courses. You will learn how to involve learners in the assessment process, provide constructive feedback and meet requirements for accurate record-keeping.
These units are completed as home assignments, giving you flexibility to study at your own pace. Once all assignments are complete, you will deliver a microteaching session on a subject of your choice. This practical assessment will allow you to demonstrate your teaching skills and apply what you have learned in a real-world context.
By completing this teacher training course, you will gain the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to progress in adult education training courses, support learners effectively and take the next step in your career as an adult teacher or trainer.
