The Level 3 Award in Education and Training (RQF) formerly known as PTLLS, has been designed to introduce teaching for individuals who aspire or currently work in adult education. This includes FE colleges, training providers, workplace training departments and/or Local Authorities. It is a nationally recognised qualification and is also often the preference for employers to source as an accredited train the trainer qualification.

This qualification includes written assignments and a practical micro-teach session. For individual’s who do not specially need the Award in Education and Training to deliver funded qualifications, they may also consider the ‘lighter’ alternative, the Level 3 Award in Delivering Training (RQF).

We offer a choice of delivery methods, including:

Self-paced study (with tutor support) – ideal for individual learners who can enrol online at any time for immediate access to course materials and complete your practical assessment remotely. A tutor will complete an online induction and be available for unlimited support.

Remote (via Zoom) or face to face (Classroom) sessions – available for individuals (subject to minimum numbers) or group bookings (minimum of 4, maximum of 12 delegates per course). We offer a choice of 4 days classroom or 6 x live remote online sessions delivered via Zoom. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
