PTLLS Teaching Qualification

Anyone who is employed either wholly or partly as a teacher, trainer or tutor now needs to hold an appropriate teaching qualification.
(LLUK Standards in post-16 education and training).

PTLLS (Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector) is the threshold licence ie: the minimum qualification required.

In simple terms, our course can provide you with the qualification you need; the ‘basic tool kit’ of teaching skills, the confidence to put these skills into practice and, the background knowledge and skills to progress to further qualifications should you wish to do so.

Course Overview

The PTLLS course has 5 components or Learning Outcomes. These are to:-
