What can you learn on the DET Course?
What is a DET course?
The DET course (Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training) is a vocational qualification that allows you to become a fully qualified teacher by gaining QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills). Once you’ve completed the qualification and gained your certificate, you can apply for QTLS by submitting an application to the Society for Education and Training.
What do you learn on the DET course?
The DET course covers a variety of activities – all carefully planned and designed by your tutor. You will have the opportunity to learn about inclusion, lesson planning and assessment, as well as learning theories by taking part in discussions, pair and group work and mind mapping activities, to name just a few.
Don’t worry – you won’t spend all the time in the classroom taking notes! Your teacher has many fun and interactive activities, tasks and sessions planned for you. Many activities that have proved popular among our students are carried out on online learning platforms by using the newest and most powerful learning tools. Taking part in the activities is beneficial, as you will have the chance to share your opinions and ideas with your classmates and learn from them too. Being part of a class of students who have different backgrounds, qualifications, knowledge and skills will inspire you and help you develop your teaching practice.
During the course, your tutor will also observe you while you teach your students. This is the perfect time to show your ability and to apply what you have learned in your lessons to real-life teaching. Your lessons will be graded according to the Ofsted criteria by your tutor, who will also offer you guidance and support, as well as invaluable advice on how to improve your teaching
This course is perfect for you, as it helps you to plan and deliver sessions by taking into account your student’s needs and learning preferences. You will learn how to design and carry out more inclusive and creative activities that learners will enjoy, as your imagination will take off by taking part in fun activities during the course. You will also learn ‘how people learn’, discovering how knowledge is gained and retained. This is important for teachers who want to deliver engaging and interesting lessons, as this will increase their chances of being successful and capable facilitators in the classroom. Taking the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training course will give you the knowledge and skills you need to be the teacher that every student would want to have!
What do you need to complete the DET course?
To complete the DET course and earn your DET qualification, you need to complete the course, which takes around six months, and pass a total of four mandatory units. There are also a number of optional units you can choose from when you take a DET course that you will need to complete before you get your qualification.
