Reviews for A Concise Guide to the Level 3 Award in Education and Training

An accessible text book for students. Lots of practical examples and very clearly written. -- Nicky Hawkins, South Devon College The book is clearly laid out with inclusion of activities and case studies to help learners engage with the information within the text. The book is written with a specific course in mind, thus chapters correlate with particular units of study and advice regarding assessment is directly relevant to those who study for the Award course. -- Heidi McWade, College of West Anglia I like the layout and the fact that it addresses the criteria from the EaT Award directly and clearly. The text is accompanied by useful activity suggestions. I thought the section on essay writing was particularly helpful. -- John Powdrill, Itchen College
