phphilz Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 PTLLS has now 'replaced' 7302 and can still be done without teaching hours True, however where does the student go from the PPLLS if they cannot get any paid work in FE? I saw this happen with the 7302, many were not able to progress further as they did not have a job in FE, and couldn't secure a job in FE, as they didn't have QTS. People need to be very careful when starting out on these type of courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you can get employment in teaching with just the PTLLS qualification in many places, with a willingness to work toward a higher level teaching qual. Thought I suppose, like anything else, if someone with a higher qualification applies for the same job, theyre more likely to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetiepie Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 :huh:Think you need a qualification just to understand what's going on!! PTLLS,7302,FE,QTS I agree and I've just passed the Cert. Ed qualifications, the whole ptlls, qtlls, dtlls etc are from the previous 7407 qualifications in FE teaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_busdriver Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 :huh:Think you need a qualification just to understand what's going on!! PTLLS,7302,FE,QTS The system changed as from 2008, basically the 7407 was in effect changed, and new quals were brought in. As I understand it, Tutors are now doing a teaching qualification with the intention of going towards a specialism such as numeracy or literacy (i may be wrong however, as I too am baffled). You get credits towards the qualification. I would advise anyone to tread with extreme caution when considering a career in FE, lets say a few years ago your specialism was IT, that was fine, however now with the onset of courses like ECDL, the need for actual Tutors had diminished, Tutors are now replaced with support staff, and the impact on wages is obvious. If ECDL can be implemented with a subject such as IT, it could easily be implemented in any other subject area, ie, a CD rom and a group of support tutors. I personally am baffled with the new ITQs, you are judgeed against a work related task, however where does that leave someone who doesn't have a job in a particular area? (ie catering). Tread very carefully with any FE career, I spent the best part of 3 years on adult teacher training. While I wrote 1000s of pages worth of assignments, nothing of any use was taught on the course (ie how do you set up a laptop and projector?).

thesilent1 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hello all, I work for a NVQ provider who also have their own assessor recruitment agency so please contact me if there is anything I can help with. We are national so might be able to help people. I have also come from a Teaching recruitment background so I might be able to help with QTS questions or general work questions. Cheers.

josh134 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi Our company trains Assessors. You would need two learners doing their NVQ. Their work would become your evidence as you would assess this. You can view the A1 standards on the internet. This course is free but you need to meet a criteria. We don't do catering or hospitality but you could have two people doing customer services for example. We are based in Sheffield and can sometimes supply you with learners but you would need to do this on a voluntary basis. Good luck Hi i would be grateful if i could have chat with you regards to this please, you an e mail me on khalil134@hotmail.com or contact me on 07979334896, Kind Regards Mohammed Khalil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
