Where will this course lead?

This course is aimed at those who are employed to teach or train adults as part of their job role. The Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS) is ideal for new teachers/assistants/assessors who have some experience but whose teaching role does not include curriculum design. Teaching may include working with groups or one to one teaching.
The course provides progression from the Preparation to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (Level 3 and Level 4), but the PTLLS is incorporated into the course so you do not need to have completed this qualification before enrolling on the CTLLS.

What will I study?

The CTLLS Award is comprised of four units: Preparation to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector, Planning and Enabling Learning, Principles and Practice of Assessment and Equality and Diversity.

How will this course be delivered?

The course consists of classroom-based learning, 1:1 tutorial support and observation of your teaching practice. You will have the opportunity to explore key educational theories and to link these to your own practice. Your tutor will give you individual support with your assignments and will give you detailed oral and written feedback on your observed teaching. You will also have the chance to practice your presentation skills.

What qualifications will I get?

BTEC Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (QCF)

How will I be assessed?

Assessment will be by assignments and observation of teaching performance.
