Training & DevelopmentCIET Certificate in Foundations of Education & Training
The CIET Certificate in Foundations of Education & Training is the award for Level 1, Foundational Practitioner, of CIET's five-level professional qualification pathway. It recognises foundational competence in education and training: how people learn, the basics of curriculum design and assessment, and professional ethics, and is designed for people entering teaching or training, and practitioners who want a recognised grounding in the essentials.
The level covers five core modules (Foundations of Education and Training, Learning Theories and Pedagogy, Professional Ethics and Conduct, Curriculum Design Basics, and Assessment and Evaluation). Each module is assessed and must be passed, through written examinations, a portfolio and presentations. CIET may exempt candidates from modules on the basis of verified prior learning. As CIET's home in Syria, led by its appointed Country Director, Alalamia guides candidates through registration, preparation and assessment.
