If you would like to enter a career teaching or training adults, or are already teaching and want to develop your career further, NEC’s Level 3 Award in Education and Training can help open more doors into the teaching profession. 

It’s also a great choice if you’re working in a role which involves you in training people (for example as a trainer for a trade union, or as a manager), or volunteering, perhaps in community education. In fact, there are a huge number of roles in the public, private and third sectors for which a qualification in education and training is valuable.

NEC’s Level 3 Award in Education and Training is accredited by Training Qualifications UK (TQUK), whose qualifications are developed by industry experts.
