Teaching and Training
Training for existing teachers, trainers, tutors, instructors or assessors who need to become qualified or continue their professional development.
Also perfect for anyone wishing to embark on a new career as a teacher, trainer or tutor.
Gain a qualification in Education and Training.
The current
Education and Training qualifications
have been developed for the wider teaching and training market, not just further education. Being used within a range of industries they are now becoming benchmark qualifications for Trainers.
This suite of Education and Training qualifications was introduced in 2014 to replace the lifelong learning teaching qualifications - PTLLS, CTLLS and DTLLS. The previous qualifications will remain valid for those who hold them, but the option to undertake them was phased out in 2014.
These qualifications, as with the predecessors, are now being recognised as the ‘benchmark standard’ required for teachers, trainers, assessors, tutors, instructors and assessors in both academic vocational institutes and commercial industry training departments, within the UK and worldwide.
If you work within an international institution you will benefit from undertaking any of these qualifications as they are usually recognised in your home country.
Information about each qualification is available, along with a downloadable factsheet.
