Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector - Level 3 (PTTLS)

This award provides the licence to teach in the Lifelong learning Sector. It offers the chance to explore the challenges and rewards of teaching and to get a foot on the professional ladder. It teaches you to plan lessons, to support a range of learner needs, to develop a range of teaching and learning activities and methods, and to understand and deploy a range of valid and reliable assessment methods used to measure learning. By the end of the course, you will have planned and delivered a 30 minute 'micro teach' utilising all that has been learnt during the course.

The PTLLS qualification is regarded as the basic license to teach qualification in the post-16 sector, but is also an excellent qualification for educators and trainers who wish to put a bit of sparkle into their courses. All teachers will be required to have at least this qualification in order to be hired as a teacher in the post-16 sector.
