The AIM Awards Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training prepares trainee teachers to teach in a wide range of contexts. It requires observation and assessment of performance. It can meet the needs of a range of trainee teachers who can meet the practice requirements; for example, individuals currently teaching or training (including those who have just begun teaching or training), individuals currently working as assessors who wish to achieve a teaching qualification. There is a practice requirement of a minimum of 100 hours and there must be a minimum of eight observations of practice, totalling a minimum of eight hours.

They should record their development needs and, where applicable, agree an action plan to address them.
