What next?
These units can be achieved individually or as a full qualification.
The “understanding the principles” are knowledge based and can be undertaken by anyone interested in the knowledge without going on to be a practitioner, however, can move onto the other units if wished.
There is a progression route through these qualifications but it is not mandatory they are done in any order.
The units relate to and are designed to complement and allow progression onto the following qualifications:
- 7303 L3 & L4 Award in preparing to teach in lifelong learning (PTLLS)
- 7304 L3 & L4 Certificate to teach in the lifelong sector (CTLLS)
- 7305 L5 Diploma in teaching in the lifelong learning sector (DTLLS)
There are opportunities for Recognition for prior learning (RPL) between these two suites of qualifications. |
