Immerse yourself in a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that encourages open dialogue, sharing of ideas, and personal experiences. Our classes, available at our Filton and Stroud campuses, as well as through remote live sessions on Microsoft Teams, offer the flexibility to engage in live interactive sessions.

What do I need to join (Entry Requirements)

No formal qualifications are required to enrol in our Level 3 certificate, ensuring accessibility for individuals from diverse backgrounds. However, it's essential to note that the government emphasizes proficiency in English, Maths, and Information Communication Technology (ICT) for all learners.

If you don't possess this level of proficiency initially, supplementary courses will be available alongside the main qualification. For those not currently employed in a school, securing a work placement at a primary or secondary school is necessary for a minimum of 2 days a week. It's your responsibility to discuss the requirements for a current Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check with your chosen school. To complete the Level 3 certificate, you'll build a portfolio showcasing your work and accomplishments, aiming to achieve a minimum of 32 credits. Evidence and observations are not graded but evaluated based on the set criteria for each unit.
