Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS) - Vocational (No. 7304 )
This core and options model level 3/4 qualification provides the knowledge and skills demanded of the 'associate' teaching role. The Certificate confers licensed practitioner status, ATLS; a professional status introduced through the 2007 lifelong learning sector teacher workforce reforms.
Candidates will come from a variety of vocational backgrounds, but will be seeking to gain a qualification for the 'associate' teaching role. They may already be in-role, or have no prior experience, but must have access to 30 hours of teaching practice in a recognised location.
