Entering the world of teaching and training can feel like standing at crossroads — full of excitement, possibilities, and a touch of nerves. Whether you’re looking to share your passions, empower others, or simply enrich your career, the education and training level 3 course—otherwise known as the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET)—is your perfect starting point.
Here’s why the LXP Skills Level 3 AET course delivers the ideal blend of quality, flexibility, and support, all designed to help you thrive online.
The AET is a foundational, nationally recognised qualification that replaced the old PTLLS award. It’s aimed at people who are new to teaching or training—no experience required. If you’re ready to dip your toes in the education sector, this is your launchpad.
At LXP Skills, this education and training level 3 course costs £299 (inc. VAT) and is fully online—perfect for fitting study around your life, not the other way around.
These units not only cover theory but give you real skills to plan, deliver, and assess in adult learning contexts. Plus, they sit nicely if you want to progress to higher-level qualifications, such as CET or DiT.
You’ll unlock a clear understanding of the teaching role—from safeguarding and equal opportunities to collaborating with education professionals.
You will earn how to create an environment where every learner feels seen, supported, and able to succeed. This is critical to a successful learning envionment.
Get to grips with assessment types, delivering constructive feedback, and keeping accurate records. It’s all about delivering impactful learning.
Let’s get real—with so many options out there, what makes our education and training level 3 course stand out?
Think of this course as not just a qualification, but a confidence-builder. If you’re someone who loves teaching—or just wants to try it—the AET gives you a recognised credential and the know-how to back it up. It’s the same qualification that many tutors, trainers, and assessors started with before moving forward.
Completing this course isn’t just a tick on your CV—it’s the moment you officially step into the world of education. It’s practical. It’s flexible. And it’s a fantastic place to start.
Once you’ve nailed the AET:
Move on to Level 4 Certificate in Education & Training (CET)—perfect for enhancing teaching abilities and getting real-world practice.
Or go for the Level 5 Diploma in Teaching, which can lead to QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning & Skills) and opens doors to school teaching as well as adult education.
The education and training level 3 course from LXP Skills is more than a qualification—it’s a flexible, supportive, and respected stepping stone into teaching. Whether you’re here to spark a new career or simply share your skills, this course sets you up to succeed.
