Want to know more? In this guide, we explain everything you need to know about the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training.
What is the Certificate in Education and Training?
The Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training replaced the now-defunct CTLLS qualification. The qualifications are broadly the same, with a few minor improvements to refresh and modernise the content.
The CET is the second most advanced teaching qualification for the post-16 education sector. There is no requirement to complete the level 3 award before enrolling on the level 4, but many students choose to. You will, however, need to be in a teaching role with the ability to create a log of the required number of classroom hours (30 hours for the level 4) over the course of this qualification.
If you’re looking for the CTLLS qualification, you’ll want to enrol on the CET.
This course is composed of six units:
UNIT NO.1 — Understanding roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training.
UNIT NO.2 — Planning to meet the needs of learners in education and training.
