About This Course

This course supersedes the older Level 3 and Level 4 Awards in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) and is fully accredited on the RQF framework, ensuring the highest standard of education.

Ideal for anyone looking to teach in the adult education and skills sector, this award will help you feel confident delivering information to groups big and small, regardless of the setting. It is suitable for both individuals who are not currently in a teaching role and those who are actively teaching.

As part of the Level 3 Award in Education and Training RQF, you will also participate in one hour of micro-teaching. This hour should include at least a 15-minute teaching session that you lead.

This course is your gateway to becoming a confident and effective educator, whether you’re just starting or looking to enhance your skills.
