The Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training is an exciting step into the first formal stage of a teaching qualification which has a teaching/training practice requirement to support and develop skills. It is an in service qualification designed for those currently working or aspiring to work as teachers/trainers in England. The qualification can meet the needs of a range of trainee teachers, including:

• Individuals who are currently teaching and training who can meet the practice requirements, including the observed and assessed practice requirements of the qualification
• Individuals currently working as assessors who wish to achieve a teaching qualification*
