How the Level-3 PTLLS and AET Training Program Educate the Participants

Posted by Ackerley Cook on November 25th, 2019

The Level-3 Award in Education and Training (AET) has replaced the training program that was formerly known as PTLLS (Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector). However, the objective of both of these courses remains the same. These courses have been designed to provide an introduction to teaching for individuals who are planning to work or are working at FE colleges, as independent training providers or under the local authorities. Hence, the aforementioned training programs can be ideal for the individuals who aspire to become trainers (for institutes or business organizations), teachers as well as assessors.

There may not be any special requirements with regards to the academic qualification in order to participate in PTLLS/AET training program. However, each participant must have extensive knowledge or basic experience in the subject that they plan to teach after the training. The participants of this training program can perform the following tasks after completing the course.

1) The participants can plan effective and interesting lessons.

2) They learn how to use different types of teaching techniques.

3) They learn how to teach effectively and confidently.

4) They learn to evaluate the performance or the quality of learning in trainees or students.

The PTLLS/AET certificate has currently become essential for all deliverers of learning. It has become a mandatory qualification for those who want to provide learning in colleges, high-schools or at the workplace. This qualification has become equally essential for any type of training institute.

If you want to receive a quality award before teaching in the post compulsory or adult sector, then it is essential to complete the PTLLS train the trainer program. The skills that are necessary to train the older students or adult trainees at institutes or business organizations are different from the skills that are required in teaching the students of primary or junior school.

This qualification program enables the prospective teachers or trainers to gain the basic knowledge in order to succeed in the world of teaching as well as training. This is a level-3 qualification. It is possible for the participants of this program to complete level-4 as well as level-5 qualifications in the future as they start gathering experience or expertise in the future.

You can finish with a full Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) qualification after successfully completing a level-5 qualification. It is essential to grasp the requirements for a PTLLS qualification in order to understand the meaning of the expression ‘lifelong learning’. The AET course Birmingham has been designed to teach the skills that are necessary for the adult education.

A) The adults in the ‘post compulsory education’ may be learning a new skill in order to further their career.

B) These participants may even try to sharpen an existing skill or try to complete an academic/vocational training if they were unable to finish the training during the compulsory education.

These individuals may attend full-time classes or may attend the classes one/two days a week or one/two weeks a month. Therefore, you need to learn how to correctly plan the lessons of post-compulsory education according to a student’s unique needs and you can learn these skills through PTLLS/AET training program.
