Adult Community Learning Essex is offering a new course beginning in February 2015.

The Award in Education and Training (formerly the Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector) will run on Saturdays at the Witham Adult Community Learning Centre and will last for eight sessions.

This introductory course is suitable for anyone new to, or considering a teaching or training role in post compulsory education. It gives an insight into the roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training, how to plan and deliver inclusive sessions and how to assess and give constructive feedback.

Councillor Ray Gooding, in charge of education and lifelong learning, said: “This is a welcome addition to a wide range of courses in education and coaching available through Adult Community Learning. If you are thinking of a change of direction in your career, it could be the perfect course for you. Please speak to one of our course advisors to find out more.”
