Teaching Apprenticeship

This draft is a simple starting point for a qualification based on the teaching standards. It is not yet complete and will be developed further as required. Links are not yet complete and provided as examples at this point.

The following tables provide the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for qualified teachers supporting work based learning that follows on from their teacher training. The assessment criteria are designed to cover the teaching standards, grouping them into credit based units and organised under learning outcomes in keeping with the Qualifications and Credit Framework. This then provides the option of providing a nationally accredited Diploma at QCF level 7 referenced to the European Qualifications Framework and providing credit in the ECVET system. There is further guidance linked to each of the assessment criteria.
