Course Information

Training in the adult sector has evolved tremendously over the last number of years due to the industry becoming more advanced and complex. It was therefore in the early 2010s where it was decided that a new range of qualifications needed to be introduced in order to replicate this. These new qualifications were nicknamed ‘TAQA’ – Training, Assessing and Quality Assurance. For training specifically, the old PTLLS and CTLLS awards were consequently replaced by the new AET and CET qualifications.

AT PMTandA, we offer 2 of the new training qualifications. These are as follows:

About

This award provides a foundation for anyone who would like to teach in the adult education and skills industry. It focuses on the different learning styles, learner needs, training methods and aids, in addition to delivering and evaluating training.

Suitable For

This qualification is suitable for anyone wanting to start a career in training in the adult-sector. There are no pre-requisites for this qualification and therefore it is great for individuals with no prior knowledge or experience in training.

Course structure

The course will be delivered in two parts. The first part is a 6 week online learning programme with regular video calls between the cohort of learners and their trainer. This will then be followed with the second part which will be a 3 day face to face course.

The course will cover over both parts:

• The Purpose of Training & Education
• The Learners
• The Learning Environment
• The Learning Cycle – Planning, Delivering, Assessment & Evaluation of Learning
• Record Keeping
• Outside Influences

Our course is interactive and the participants on the course are expected to actively participate in discussion and activities whilst on the course.

Assessment

You will be assessed by delivering a micro teach (20 mins) session to your cohort and assessor, which will take place on the final face to face day. You will have a further professional discussion with your assessor about what you have learnt and and you will produce together a portfolio of evidence of your learning via our e-portfolio system QualsDirect.
