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.

Whilst the PTLLS 7303 has some similarities to the old 7307 it is far less intensive. I advise people all the time on entry to the PTLLS course and I always advise that they look upon the new PTLLS course as a refresher to update their skills as we have moved on a lot with teaching and training since the 7307 and it helps to understand the new concepts embedded in the new awards. I think as a preparatory award in regards to teaching in 2010 it is a worthwhile exercise to partake in and one should not presume that it is a lower level course and that you should automatically proceed to say the CTLLS level course or in fact as most seasoned practitioners prefer straight onto the DTLLS.
