City & Guilds 7303 Certificate: Preparation to Teach in the
Lifelong Learning Sector (PTTLS) Expanded Course

continues our tradition of excellence in trainer training, aligned with the new qualification framework for those working in the adult learning sector.

Duration

Ten days.

Who Should Attend

In-company trainers, line managers, team leaders and supervisors who need to train and coach others at work.

Why Study for 7303?

The C&G 7303 enables delegates to learn from each other
and receive expert guidance from the tutor, in addition to maximum training time “on their feet.”

Our delegates will not be required to build their portfolio of evidence, practise training and be assessed back in the workplace. All of this takes place on the course, under the expert guidance of our tutors. As a result, delegates return to the workplace confident, skilled and ready to implement what they have learnt straight away.

Content Includes

The programme is practical and participative and is run in a friendly and supportive environment. Our tutors “practice what they preach” to ensure the whole course is a live learning experience. Delegates will learn through a combination of trainer inputs, discussions, group work and personal reflection.
Groups are small, with a maximum of eight delegates on each course to allow for maximum tutor time.

The course is fully interactive, and makes use of the on-line
learning resource at City and Guilds Smartscreen. Assessment is through a combination of observed “microteach” sessions within the group that are recorded, and simple written assignments which are assessed and marked during the course.

Delegates will be provided with both a comprehensive set of course notes for reference plus a copy of Ann Gavells’ book “Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector.”

Ann Gavells book will be provided to delegates before the
course.

Before the Course

Delegates will be asked to prepare/bring the following:
Read Ann Gavells on “The Learning Cycle”; Assign a mentor in the workplace for pre and post course guidance and support;

Typical items
are those from the delegate’s work place, home or hobbies that are easily carried and enable them to train to others;
