Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) (7303)

PTLLS is the acronym for the Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector. It is a one unit award comprising five ‘sections’. All new teachers to the sector are required to complete it. The award has a credit value of 6 credits on the QCF. It forms the first unit/module of all 120 credit diploma qualifications and the 24 credit CTLLS programme; it can therefore be offered as an integrated unit/module or as a discrete award.

If taken as a stand-alone qualification, it can receive accreditation of prior learning (APL) within 7304 CTLLS, 7305 DTLLS, and the level 5 subject specialist diplomas for literacy, ESOL and numeracy (120 credits).
