Teacher/Tutor Resources

The page of resources for teachers/tutors has been updated with a new layout that should make it easier to find documents.

FYI, there is now a leaflet summarising Assessment Information for FETAC which is a handy reference for learners and yourself. There is also the full Teacher/Tutor Information Pack as a pdf file available to download.

The Shared Resources from Teachers/ Tutors is also active and we welcome new lesson plans, assessments anything else you can provide to improve this facility.

Level 3 Programme Descriptors

All level 3 awards have now been migrated to the Common Award System (CAS). The former module descriptors are no longer valid as FETAC have published the Certificate and Component Specification for each award. Component Specifications are not Programme Descriptors. The Component Specification states the standards for the award while the Programme Descriptor provides details of the learning experience and specifies indicative content for each learning outcome. If you are not sure about delivering a Programme please contact your Programme Coordinator immediately.

KES Programme Descriptors will be available on the Intranet soon
