Progression Routes
Having gained the PTLLS qualification the next step is to gain the CTLLS or DTLLS. This will enable teachers of adults to have a wider range of teaching and assessing skills and also to have a better chance in the job market of promotion. Both these awards can lead to DTLLS or Qualified Teacher Status. Teaching can be a rewarding and worthwhile career and is a respected profession.
Teaching in the post compulsory education sector has the advantage that those who choose to attend courses and classes do so because they have an interest in the topics being taught and have a desire to learn.
