Overview
What does the course involve?
The Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS) is suitable for those teaching/training/tutoring in an Associate Teacher Role in the Learning and Skills Sector and who have at least 30 hours of teaching over the duration of the programme.
According to Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) someone is deemed to be in an Associate Teaching Role if their role and responsibilities are to teach predominantly in at least one of the following ways:
-
From packs/pre-prepared materials, and therefore has limited responsibilities in design of curriculum and materials generally
-
On a one-to-one basis
-
On a programme confined to a particular level/subject/type of learner (i.e. does not develop or deliver a full range across a curriculum area
-
On short courses
An Associate Teacher could be someone whose main occupation is not teaching, but who does deliver learning on a regular or more than an occasional basis. As well as providing a firm practical foundation for all those teaching in the Associate Role, course members will also be introduced to the key principles of teaching and learning.
The Certificate is designed as a qualification which will equip a wide range of teachers/trainers/tutors and facilitators (e.g. support staff and technicians) to deliver learning and meets all new statutory requirements.
