The Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) award is for those who are or who want to be a teacher, tutor or trainer and need to be able to plan, prepare and implement learning for a specialist area. PTLLS is the initial award, which has been developed to provide a threshold license to teach in the FE sector in England. Additional benefits of the PTLLS award are that you automatically become an IFL Member when you pass the course. (Institute for Learning, 2010) From passing this award you can then put AIFL letters after your name and potential employers will recognize your membership and qualification. This award also leads to higher education courses at Level 5, such as the DTLLS this is equivalent to the old Cert ED or in-service PGCE. This is possibly something you never thought you would ever do or achieve when you left school with a handful of GCSE’s or A Levels? For those people considering this course and qualification it can be quite daunting as after all it might be a million miles away from your specialism, such as hairdressing, holistic treatments or else plumbing. However don’t let this put you off, as the course is designed to be a taster for you not necessarily a full blown teaching qualification. The level 3 & 4 courses are delivered by blended learning with some theory being completed by candidates online prior to the three day in house course, finishing with a practice micro teaching workshop. Alternatively the course can be run completely in house over four days, finishing with a practice micro teaching workshop. Courses are arranged at a date and time to suit the client. Minimum Number = 4 The courses comprise of two main sections: Theory completed with your allocated tutor, this is either online and requires a PC with Internet connection (3 day option) or fully face to face (4 day option). Course access is 24/7 via Moodle and our bespoke eLearning software. Practical micro teaching workshop. There are THREE components to the course, which learners must complete: 1. Practical micro teaching session (15 minutes) 2. Complete x 3 Assignments 3. Forum interaction with peers and research using our online and free learning resources e.g.: MOODLE. Entry to the course is via an application form initial assessment and possibly a telephone interview with the Course Tutor especially if you have any prior learning in the same subject. This qualification satisfies the government requirement for teachers, tutors and trainers to hold an award in preparing to teach in the lifelong learning sector. It can be undertaken by those who want to teach in an FE College, tutor in an Adult and Community Learning Centre or be a trainer for a Learning Provider or by those who need an initial award for their current role as a teacher, tutor or trainer in the Lifelong Learning Sector. Learners will gain knowledge and understanding of the teacher’s role and approaches to teaching and learning, plan learning sessions and manage learning. The achievement of the Level 3 or 4 Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector will confirm that learners have shown that they have a good understanding of the essential aspects of the teacher/trainer role, can organise and manage effective learning and have developed professionally through on-going reflection and evaluation.

Objectives: The objectives of theese qualifications are to help learners to: Understand the roles and responsibilities of the teacher Understand appropriate teaching and learning approaches within a specialist area Plan, deliver and evaluate a micro-teach session Understand the use of different assessment methods and the need for record keeping Progression: For those working in the teaching sector once you have passed your PTLLS with us you can progress to the DTLLS and this can be achieved over 1 year working in house and over distance via our IMLE (Interactive Managed Learning Environment), e.g.: Moodle.
