The aim of this new qualification is to support staff in the education and training sector to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to teach or train in fully online distance learning provision. The qualification will also be useful for those who teach in settings where there is a combination of online and face-to-face delivery known as “blended learning”.

The course is for any teacher or trainer undertaking a fully online or blended learning course. It is designed for flexible use in different sectors, including schools, further education and training, and higher education. The course is available to any educator with a Level 3 or higher qualification in teaching or equivalent professional experience and some teaching experience.

The course was commissioned by Wey Education and built by online learning specialists Sero Consulting Ltd for accreditation by the Awards for Training and Higher Education (ATHE) awarding body.

Wey Education has been approved to deliver the course.

The qualification will be available for delivery for external students from April 2021. The course runs one day a week and is offered during following days and times:

Teaching Online Essentials (the shorter course) runs at the same time but duration is only for one term.

We have an April start and a September start available.

The qualification is worth 12 credits for 120 hours of study, including 38 guided learning hours. It covers ten units:

  • Introduction to online learning and teaching
  • The Context for Online Teaching

Wey Education is now offering a new Teaching Online Essentials course. It differs from the full course in a variety of ways.

‘Teaching Online Essentials’ is a subsidiary award under the same specification.

The shorter course involves attending 7 webinars over 10 weeks/1 term. The first one is an introduction to the course and each other. The next 3 comprise of Unit 03 and covers synchronous teaching – it is the same Unit 03 as the full course. The last 3 webinars comprise of Unit 07 which is about online assessment.

If students completed Units 03 and 07 they are awarded with a certificate from ATHE. They can then opt to complete the rest of the units and gain the full award without having to complete Units 03 and 07 again.

To gain the certificate, candidates would need to attend the 7 webinars, deliver a successful microteach during one of the webinars, and complete 4 assignments (two for each unit). Support would be given throughout, including opportunities to repeat the microteach or resubmit assignments with guidance given on how they could achieve a pass.

It will start the week of 12th April and continue for 1 term (full programme is 3 terms).
