I want to start teaching adults, which course do I need?
The normal entry route is via the PTLLS Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector
Check with your employer. If you are an employer or self-employed, check with the awarding body/exam board you are working with.
I want to
teach SIA recognised courses
such as Door Supervisors,
Security Guards or Close
Protection Officers. Which
qualifications do I need ?
All new trainers for
these courses must
achieve
PTLLS Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector
and 1886
Certificate for Deliverers of
Conflict Management Training or
equivalent. See our
Combined Course to get both
of these together.
I find the number codes (7302, 7303 etc) confusing. What do they mean?
This numbering system used by City and Guilds can cause confusion. The current entry level teacher training qualification is the 7303 Certificate in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector. More details on the current qualifications can be found at the City and Guilds website
I already have a teaching qualification. Do I need a new one?
You might not need a new qualification. Full details of the "Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills" schemes can be found here QTLS
