How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Training Qualifications UK Ltd has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and Training Qualifications UK Ltd awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Training Qualifications UK Ltd.
The TQUK Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training prepares trainee teachers to teach in a wide range of contexts, suitable for individuals not currently teaching, those who are just beginning, and assessors wishing to gain a teaching qualification.
These are the units Training Qualifications UK Ltd registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Training Qualifications UK Ltd. It does the teaching and the mapping. Training Qualifications UK Ltd sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

The credits, and who awards them
Level 4 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by Training Qualifications UK Ltd rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.
How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
- Bring your own plan Create
For “Develop learning and development programmes” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.
- Map a live decision Analyse
“Equality and diversity” runs on a decision you are facing now. Zavmo maps it with you and shows what the second-order effect looks like before you find out the slow way.
- Lead it Apply
“Manage learning and development in groups” is practised on the team you actually have. You talk through the call you are about to make, and Zavmo makes you say it the way you would say it to them.
