If you’re providing training in the public sector and you haven’t already heard of PTLLS you need to read this!

By May 2010, any trainer delivering LSC–funded programmes will need to have attained the PTLLS qualification regulated by Life Long Learning UK (LLUK)

PTLLS (pronounced “petals”) otherwise known as, City & Guilds 7303, stands for Preparing to Teach in the Life Long Sector – 7303 (we prefer petals!)

PTLLS will be a requirement for ANY LSC-funded training delivered by or for:

• Work based providers
• Community / adult learning providers
• Specialist colleges
• Train to Gain
• Public sector organisations
• Private employers

I’ve highlighted public sector in this list as this is where the new regulations are likely to have the biggest impact. A lot of training in the Public Sector is LSC funded, and therefore falls under the new requirements. Trainers or training organisations who have not gained the qualification by the deadline will suddently find they will not be able to tender for or win contracts. This will apply in the NHS, armed forces, police, local authorities and so on.

Alarmingly PTLLS seems to have passed under the radar with many people, and if they don’t get trained and qualified in time they will be in for a nasty suprise when the deadline hits!

The good news – Silicon Beach Training will be launching a PTLLS training course including certification in November. Watch this space!
