Training for trainers
All of our training team hold current adult education certificates and we also run an award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS).
The course involves 30 hours of contact time and is run in partnership with Hereford College of Technology, with the award from the University of Warwick.
This course is aimed at anybody involved in the further, or adult, education sector, and will be a minimum requirement for any trainer by 2010.
The course provides an introduction to teaching in the lifelong learning sector. It is aimed at new entrants to the profession as well as the full range of teachers, trainers and tutors working in the sector.
You will attend taught sessions with some self-study and reading.
Sessions will include:
- developing effective teaching and learning
- creating effective learning environments
- assessment activities
- supporting learners
- roles and responsibilities of the practitioner
- developing effective resources.
Students will be assessed through a variety of short assignments and classroom activities. A key aspect of the course is initial assessment and tutorial guidance and support. There is no teaching practice requirement. Students also undertake a peer group teaching activity as part of the assessment.
Progression is to the Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong learning Sector (CTLLS) or the Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong learning Sector (DTLLS).
