INTRODUCTION

This is the first tier of the teacher training qualification and is part of the progression route into licensed teacher status. It is designed to prepare those who work in any form of post 16 training, whether that be in a private organisation or FE college. It forms part of the new Qualified Teacher Lifelong Sector (QTLLS) framework. Teachers in a full teaching role have 5 years to meet the new license to teach status. This may be as an associate teacher of life long learning skills (ATLS) or as a qualified teacher in life long learning (QTLS).


Course includes:

The roles and responsibilities of a teacher
teaching and learning activities and resources
Planning and structuring teaching / training sessions
Classroom management and communication skills
Assessment and feedback

You will complete written and practical assignments, including a micro teach activity.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

Approximately one 3 hour session a week for 12 weeks.
Block courses or 5 full days teaching will also be available for experienced practitioners.

ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS

You need to be suitably qualified in your own subject area and either teach or intend to teach post 16 learners. It is advised that English ability is around level 2 ( GCSE C, CSE 1, O level C, KS L2)

WHERE COULD IT LEAD?

The course does not give licence to teach. However it does provide the entry qualification which allows progression to the rest of the QTLLS framework: the C&G 7304 Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS) or the certificate in Education (Cert Ed.). Any one of which will lead to the license to teach.
