Ofqual regulated training

These modules can be combined to obtain two new national vocational qualifications – Level 2 Award in Teaching in Supplementary Schools and other Out of School Settings and Level 3 Certificate in Teaching in the Supplementary Education Sector.

Most modules are also available as stand-alone courses. The 6 and 8 credit modules can be run as six full-day or nine to eleven half-day or twilight sessions. We can also run them as a combination of full and half days including evenings and weekends. All our courses require a commitment to the full course duration. Trainees will be assessed on the following: discussion and description of work; reflective diary; action planning; and short essays. For the ‘Teaching skills in supplementary schools’, ‘Teaching a language’ and ‘Teaching in Islamic supplementary schools’ modules there is an assessed micro-teach and practice file and learners will need to evaluate their own teaching practice.

Please contact the NRCSE to discuss your needs in more detail and to book an OCN-accredited course.
