Why Attend This City and Guilds 7303 Course?
The purpose of this City and Guilds 7303 scheme is to provide an introduction for those who wish to train or teach. It is a qualification that will equip a wide range of trainers, facilitators and teachers to support learners.
City and Guilds 7303 (C&G 7303) is a stepping stone award and replaces the C&G 7302 and micro-teaching element of the old Certificate in Further and Adult Education Teaching (7307 stage 1). C&G 7303 introduces candidates to delivering training and is ideal for trainers in commerce, industry, public and voluntary sectors or HM forces, who might not have had the opportunity to build up any teaching hours.
City and Guilds 7303 is designed to contribute towards the knowledge and understanding for the Further Education National Training Organisation (FENTO) or the Employment National Training Organisation (EMPNTO) occupational standards. (These occupational standards are also the framework that underpin the C&G 7303 award).
C&G 7303 is Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) accredited.
The City and Guilds 7303 Award is suitable for those who work, or want to work, as:
- Teachers/Trainers/Tutors in the Lifelong Learning Sector and Adult/Community Education
- Trainers of personnel in commerce, industry, public and volutary sectors or HM Forces
- Technicians and Support Staff in Further and Adult Education
- Part time teachers in further and adult education
provided they are qualified in the subject they intend to teach by virtue of holding an appropriate professional qualification or employed in a training/teaching role. The decision as to what constitutes an appropriate qualification is at the discretion of the training provider.
C&G 7303 is related to and overlaps the following existing City and Guilds awards:
- C&G 7302 Certificate and Diploma in Delivering Learning (Level 3)
- C&G 7407 Certificate in Further Education Teacher (Level 4)
- C&G 7318 Learning and Development awards (Level 3)
Training
City and Guilds 7303 is an intense course, run over four consecutive days to meet the requirements of thirty+ hours class contact time. You will be expected to successfully complete two assignments, stipulated by City & Guilds, that will make up the necessary evidence to prove your knowledge and understanding of the five topics in the award. As you work your way through the C&G 7303 Course we will ensure that your assignments are vocationally relevant to you and your work.
The topics in the City and Guilds 7303 Course are:
- Section 1: Understand own role, responsibilities and boundaries of role in relation to teaching
- Section 2: Understand appropriate teaching and learning approaches in the specialist area
- Section 3: Demonstrate session planning skills

- Section 5: Understand the use of different assessment methods and the need for record keeping
To achieve the qualification, candidates must successfully complete both the theory and practice assignments covering all five Sections. You will be required to organise your work in a systematic way and produce a programme folder containing all the required tasks.
The primary C&G 7303 Course objectives are:
- Adopt an integrative approach to the theory and practice of teaching and training
- Reflect on own previous/current levels of experience, practice and skills, and potential for development.
- Build up knowledge of principles of learning, teaching and assessment and evaluation.

Q:
Do you need to have any previous teaching experience?
You don’t need any previous teaching experience but any you do have will probably reduce your learning deficit.

Q:
What can the C&G 7303 lead to?

Q:
Can I start delivering training either on my own or for my own company after qualifying with the C&G 7303?
You can function as a trainer in any capacity that your clients will pay for but in order to deliver any officially recognised qualifications, such as Health & Safety etc., you or your company will need to be approved, as required by the appropriate awarding body, e.g. the Heath & Safety Executive.
