The objective of the OTHM Level 5 Extended Diploma in Education and Training
Management qualification is to develop a learner’s practical teaching skills and
prepare them to work in a wide range of educational and training contexts.
Learners will study level 4 and 5 units, worth 120 credits per academic year with a
total credit value of 240 credits (equivalent to the first 2 years of an honours degree).
The Level 4 units provide an introduction to relevant education and training principles
and practices. These units include both theoretical and practical content, and
learners will be able to gain knowledge and skills in the areas of education and
training programme design, learner engagement, and planning and monitoring their
own work as well as evaluating the quality of education and training provision. They
will also learn about the importance of reflecting on their current practice, identifying
their own learning needs and professional development.
The Level 5 units give learners the opportunity to progress in specific subject areas.
Learners will develop and enhance knowledge and skills in the areas of learning and
assessment, behaviour management, learning and communication, concepts of
lifelong learning, resources planning and management, leadership and continued
professional development.
Please note that the OTHM Level 5 Extended Diploma in Education and Training
Management qualification does not enable learners to apply for QTLS or become a
recognised qualified teacher, but the qualification does provide the knowledge and
skills to prepare them for a teaching role.
