You might not know this but the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training has undergone major changes. Though we have scant information until now (which will be updated soon), we want to inform you about these changes first!

The name Diploma in Education and Training going to be changed to Diploma in Teaching (FE and Skills) (DiT).

Being a recognised and renowned teaching qualification, the new framework has been put forward to align with the growing changes and needs in education.

The latest developments will help teachers meet the diverse needs and preferences of students and make teaching as well as learning more effective than before.

Here is what you need to know:

Firstly, the ‘entry requirements’ for DiT have been changed slightly. To enrol on DiT, obtaining Level 2 Qualification in Literacy and Numeracy is mandatory and the minimum core component has been omitted. 

The learners are now required to complete a total of 250 hours on placement as a practical requirement of the course.

This includes 150 hours of teaching log along with 100 hours devoted to Continuous Professional Development and other relevant duties and meetings.

This also includes the  20 hours of virtual training. This will help teachers learn new skills, like integrating and operating new versions of technologies, and focus on multiple teaching methodologies like blended learning while offering multiple other opportunities to students who face challenges and cannot attend physical classrooms.

Furthermore, to check whether the learner has grasped the required skills, understanding, and knowledge of the course, they will be observed and assessed thoroughly.

For this, DiT learners are required to complete 10 observations in two different educational settings/organisations.

Each observation must be of approximately 45 minutes and supported by 2 mentors in the relevant settings.

Overall, the revamped framework of the Diploma in Teaching (FE and Skills) represents a proactive response to the ever-changing demands of education sector.

Through these changes in DiT, teachers will be now equipped to meet the diverse needs of students and easily operate in the current teaching environments.

They will be able to contribute more to the enhancement and advancement of the teaching profession as a whole.
