The Ultimate PTLLS Guide
Paul Cook

The Preparing to teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) award is for those who are or who want to be a teacher, tutor or trainer and need to be able to plan, prepare and implement learning for a specialist area. PTLLS is the initial award, which has been developed to provide a threshold license to teach in the FE sector in England. Additional benefits of the PTLLS award are that you automatically become an IFL Member when you pass the course. (Institute for Learning, 2010) From passing this award you can then put AIFL letters after your name and potential employers will recognize your membership and qualification. This award also leads to higher education courses at Level 5, such as the DTLLS this is equivalent to the old Cert ED or in-service PGCE. This is possibly something you never thought you would ever do or achieve when you left school with a handful of GCSE’s or A Levels? For those people considering this course and qualification it can be quite daunting as after all it might be a million miles away from your specialism, such as hairdressing, holistic treatments or else plumbing. However don’t let this put you off, as the course is designed to be a taster for you not necessarily a full blown teaching qualification.
