Education and Training
Teaching is more than delivering information — it is about inspiring confidence, creating opportunity, and shaping futures.
The Level 3 Award in Education and Training is a nationally recognised qualification designed for individuals who want to begin teaching in the further education and skills sector, deliver workplace training, or formalise their existing training experience.
At Destination to Development (D2D), we believe great teaching starts with strong foundations. This qualification develops both practical teaching skills and professional understanding — giving learners the confidence to plan, deliver, and assess engaging sessions effectively.
The programme explores roles and responsibilities in education and training, inclusive teaching approaches, session planning, assessment methods, and how to create supportive learning environments. Learners will also plan and deliver a micro-teach session as part of their assessment.
What makes D2D different is our focus on real application. We combine structured teaching input with practical experience, supportive feedback, and reflective development — ensuring learners leave not just qualified, but capable and confident.
With D2D, this is not just a teaching certificate — it is the start of professional impact.
