Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector

QCF Levels 3 and 4

We provide a twelve week programme suitable

for all teachers, trainers, instructors and assessors

who are currently working in the lifelong learning sector.

This is a practical route to achieving

a level 3 or level 4 qualification, mapped to the

Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).

The programme is vocationally based.  It is appropriate

for experienced trainers who want to undertake CPD activity, or for people new to the sector who are

embarking on their first teaching/training qualification.

"If you teach or train in the further education sector, be it in a college, workplace or community setting, achieving and maintaining professional teaching status is becoming a requirement....."
