Affordable PTLLS Courses
The full title for the Level 3 PTLLS qualification is “Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector”. The acronym is often pronounced “petals”. It has now been replaced with a new qualification, the Level 3 in Adult Education and Training (PTTLS), or AET.
Let’s start with the definition of PTLLS, which for
many years was an entry-level qualification for initial teacher training,
offered by many of the ‘mainstream’ education-focused awarding organisations
such as City and Guilds and Edexcel.
PTTLS is offered all over the country as a first
step towards teaching in post-compulsory education (students over the age of 16).
Currently this is the ‘lowest’ of the teaching qualifications specifically for
this sector of education. Following successful completion of the PTLLS and upon
achieving the qualification, an associate teacher would then typically take the
more advanced CTLLS for the Certificate and after that the DTLLS for the
Diploma.
Taking the PTLLS course could lead you to the first stage of a PGCE (Post
Graduate Certificate in Education) in Lifelong Learning and is currently
required prior to achieving the CTLLS and DTLLS to gain Qualified Teacher
Learning and Skills (QTLS) status. It is a requirement that all teachers obtain
the PTLLS award, or its equivalent (AET), to be able to continue to teach in
the further education sector in the UK.
As mentioned earlier in this article, PTLLS is in
the process of being phased out, along with the CTLLS and the DTLLS. They will
eventually be replaced by the Award in Education and Training qualification at RQF
Levels 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
The Level 3 PTLLS is available to study remotely
through distance learning with Educate QA, one of the UK’s most prominent
online learning establishments. To view this and other teaching and assessing
