The HABC Level 3 Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) is ideal for new entrants into the teaching industry. It is also ideal for anyone currently teaching or who wishes to teach their subject specialism to others. If you are a trainer involved in providing funded Work Based Learning (WBL), you may also be required to obtain PTLLS in order to satisfy funding requirements.

The PTLLS Award consists of five sections:

• Understand your own role and responsibilities and the boundaries of your role in relation to teaching.
• Understand appropriate teaching and learning approaches in the specialist area.
• Demonstrate session planning skills.
• Understand how to deliver inclusive sessions which motivate learners.
• Understand the use of different assessment methods and the need for record keeping.

The qualification is registered on the Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF), and has a credit value of 6.

Future qualifications may include progression onto the Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS) or the Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS).
