Teacher Training

Course delivery is designed so that teachers can continue working part-time or full-time whilst gaining a teaching qualification

The new teacher qualification framework (PTLLS, CTLLS and DTLLS) consists of a number of units and differently sized qualifications which have been designed to be appropriate for the different teaching roles. It is possible to build up units to achieve the highest of these qualifications, the level 5 Diploma.

The starting point for anyone new to teaching is the Edexcel Level 3 BTEC Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS), a six credit qualification,

this is available at Levels 3 and 4. Teachers in an associate teacher role, will take the next qualification up, the Edexcel Level 3 BTEC Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS), a 24-credit qualification available at Levels 3 and 4. For CTLLS there is a requirement for 30 hours of teaching practice.

Teachers in a full teaching role will take the Edexcel Level 4 BTEC Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS), a 120-credit Level 5 qualification.

For DTLLS, there is a requirement for 150 hours of teaching practice.

The levels are designed to enable learners to work at an academic level appropriate to their skills and knowledge. For example, a person who has general qualifications at Level 2 and vocational NVQs at Level 2 would be best suited to the Level 3 PTLLS, whereas a graduate wanting to explore teaching to see if they want to train for a full classroom role would be best suited to the Level 4. Having taken PTLLS, a learner would select which qualification to take next depending on their anticipated role.

At ACE, PTLLS is offerred as part of either CTLLS or DTLLS courses.
