Awarding Body
At the end of this course, successful learners will be awarded a formal DET Level 5 qualification certificate of achievement by NCFE. Our Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training online course has been designed specifically to meet the needs of learners who prefer to study from home.
How is this course assessed or examined?
This course is assessed in two ways:
Tutor-marked assignments (TMAs)
Each unit is followed by a tutor-marked assignment (TMA) which will be completed at the end of each module and marked by your tutor.
You will not be required to take an external exam with this course as your portfolio of evidence is internally assessed by us and externally quality assured by the awarding body. The outcomes for each TMA are Achieved or Not Yet Achieved. Your tutor will provide feedback on your work, and should there be any amendments required, they will outline what is needed for you to complete that assignment.
Observation (included)
This course requires eight observations. This means that somebody will need to observe you in practice. This could be in a workplace or a voluntary placement. These practical observations are as follows:
- Internal Observation – there are three in total, and they can be conducted by a qualified person within your placement
- External Observation – there are five in total, and they will be carried out by an Oxbridge Assessor (we’ll visit you)
We offer five complimentary external observations for this course to any student on the UK mainland, which in addition to the internal observation, is enough to complete the course.
