I have worked in education for 34 years, in various guises. I managed a busy nursery for 12 years before branching out into Assessment and Quality Assurance, more than 20 years ago. My practice has developed alongside the ever-evolving training and apprenticeship sector, and I have worked in many different settings, including colleges, private training agencies and a foster care agency. I also work part time as a Higher-Level Teaching Assistant for a local charity that supports higher level education for young people with Special Educational and/or behavioural needs and as a tutor for a bespoke programme for one-to-one support. I really enjoy supporting learners of varying abilities and experience to achieve their best and to become qualified in their chosen field.

One of the best features of this course is that no previous qualifications or experience are needed; all that is required is a desire to teach or coach. This assessment course will benefit you regardless of your topic specialization, whether you teach music or coach individuals.

I just passed the L3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment (RQF) exam. I’m not an academic person, and I got stuck many times in a couple of the courses, but due to the Support Tutor I had, who simplified things for me to understand. I completed the course in a record amount of time. Britannia School of Leadership and Management comes highly recommended.

I have done quite a few online courses and must admit that school of leadership was probably the best of all. They are well organised and care about their learners. I will 100% recommend them and do my L4 IQA with them next year.
