Preparing To Teach In The Lifelong Learning Sector (QCF)

The aim is to provide the learner with the knowledge that will enable them to:

• Understand your own role, responsibilities and the boundaries of those in relation to teaching
• Understand appropriate teaching and learning approaches for the context of flexible learning in your specialist area
• Demonstrate session planning skills
• Demonstrate how to provide inclusive sessions which motivates learners
• Understand the use of different assessment methods and the need for record keeping

Who is this for

Anyone who is considering or starting a teaching or training career in the adult learning world (teachers, tutors, trainers, facilitators, instructors, lecturers, practitioners). From September 2007, all new entrants to teaching in the FE sector will be required to complete a new award which will prepare them to teach. PTLLS will be mandatory for any new teacher who teaches publicly funded provision and by 2010 all those in receipt of government funding who teach will have to be qualified.
