Are you preparing to attend WorkSafe’s Level 3 Award in Education and Training course? This fast-track, 3-day qualification is an exciting step toward becoming a confident and capable trainer. To help you feel fully prepared and ready to succeed, we’ve put together a checklist of what to bring with you on the day.
- Resources for Your Micro-Teach
One of the key elements of the course is your micro-teach session. This is your opportunity to deliver a short teaching session on a topic of your choice. To make the most of this, think ahead and plan any resources you may need. These could include:
- Props or Visual Aids: Hands-on materials can engage your audience and make your session more interactive.
- Handouts: If you want to provide a summary or extra information, printed handouts can be helpful.
- Presentation Slides: If you plan to use a PowerPoint presentation, bring a USB drive with your file or have it accessible via email or cloud storage.
Need ideas for your micro-teach? Consider your hobbies or interests. Whether it’s demonstrating first aid techniques, sharing photography tips, or explaining how to bake the perfect cake, choose a topic you’re passionate about.

- Your Laptop (Optional but Useful)
If you’re planning to use a PowerPoint presentation or other digital materials during your micro-teach, bringing your own laptop can be helpful. While we provide the necessary equipment for presentations, having your own device ensures you can access your files easily and feel more comfortable using familiar technology.
Make sure your presentation is saved in a compatible format and have a backup on a USB drive or in cloud storage just in case.
- Notebook and Pen
Throughout the course, you’ll be learning valuable techniques for effective teaching and assessment. Having a notebook and pen will allow you to jot down key points, ideas for your micro-teach, and any questions you want to follow up on later.
Final Thoughts
Preparing properly for your Level 3 Award in Education and Training course will help you feel confident and ready to succeed. By bringing the right materials and planning your micro-teach, you’ll be set for an enjoyable and rewarding three days.
