Preparing To Teach In the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) - 5 days + self directed study

A PTLLS qualification is the minimum threshold requirement for those without formal adult education qualifications to deliver accredited courses in the adult education sector. It will be a requirement from September 2010 for all involved in the adult education sector delivering courses on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and its replacement the Qualifications Credit Framework (QCF).

This award requires 60 hours of tuition (face-to-face and assignments)and local Colleges traditionally deliver the course as a series of evening classes. However we intend to run an intensive PTLLS course over a 5-day week (30 hours from Monday to Friday) supported by pre and post course work and assignments that take another 30 hours.

The PTTLS is a generic award for all sectors, however we will ensure that its content is tailored to the delivery of first aid training.

First Aid Academy's Training Director Cory Jones will be running its PTLLS courses in conjunction with ITC First Aid. The course will be verified and supported by the Awarding Body Ascentis (formerly OCNW until Sept 2009). The course fee for PTLLS will be £590 + VAT for the training course and certification.
