Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS) courses

Our CTLLS course includes: 8 themed training days, guided self study, teaching observations and support with assignments. We have a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to support collaborative and individual learning, and to facilitate the sharing of experience and expertise amongst peers.

Jade Solutions (UK) Ltd, trading as Joan Patterson Associates, has been working with City & Guilds teacher training qualifications for the last 11 years. CTLLS is the City and Guilds 6304 Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector along with PTLLS 6302 – Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector and DTLLS 6305 – Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector. In 2011-12 over 230 PTLLS, CTLLS and DTLLS students undertook our qualifications with a 96% completion rate*.

*3% withdrew from the course for personal reasons and 1% did not complete for other reasons.

The Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector is part of the suite of Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses which also includes the PTLLS and DTLLS. The CTLLS tutor training course and qualification leads to Associate Teacher Learning and Skills status (ATLS), Licensed Practitioner Status and allows for Professional Formation for tutors in the “associate teaching role”.

DTLLS.co.uk is the dedicated home for Jade Solutions (UK) Ltd DTLLS teacher training courses and provides information about ITT qualifications, our DTLLS course dates, funding information, access to the VLE for existing students and much more.

We have experience of training tutors who work in a wide range of sectors including colleges, community education, work based learning, police, armed forces, and a cross section of business training and consultancy.

We access Skills Funding Agency funding through partnerships with Chesterfield and Bournville Colleges, making for a very affordable package.

Courses start in October/November and Feb/March each year.
