PTLLS candidates often find it difficult to approach and complete their assessments. This accessible guide begins with an overview of the award, detailing the requirements at Levels Three and Four. It encourages the reader to assess their own competence in the five sections of PTLLS, helping them to better understand how to prepare for their assessments. Detailed guidance on how to demonstrate and evidence competence enables candidates to complete their assessments with confidence. Finally, a chapter on practical assessments covers how both pre-service and in-service candidates can prepare for the Microteach, and includes hints and tips on how to succeed.
I have been working in further education since 1983, and I have been writing, co-writing and editing text books for SAGE Publications since 2006.
My passion is to help new entrants to the further education, skills and training sector: i.e. the beginner teacher; trainer; assessor and/or quality assurer.
All my books are written in plain English and break down complex topics into easy to understand concepts.
I have a Master's Degree in Educational Management; a Post Graduate Certificate in Education; a Degree in Education; and qualifications in Business Administration; Customer Service; Management; Learning & Development; Assessment, IQA and EQA awards.
I have co-written international and national teaching qualifications for several awarding organisations, as well as working for them in a compliance and quality assurance capacity. I am based in East Yorkshire, England (UK). I have delivered events in various parts of the UK, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
I am a Fellow of the Society for Education and Training and I hold QTLS status.
