Additional Information

The CIEH Level 3 PTLLS qualification is a six-credit qualification, indicating 60 hours of learning. The CIEH training programme must cover the syllabus in a minimum contact time of 30 hours. Contact time is the time taken to deliver the actual training and does not include independent assignment work, refreshment breaks, revision and preparation time or 'mock' assessments.

The full programme for PTLLS is divided into two parts:

Part 1 concludes with a micro-teach session, which is assessed.

Part 2 concludes the training and prepares you for two further assignments.

Candidates converting from the CIEH Professional Trainer Certificate (PTC) or the CIEH Level 3 Award in Training Skills and Practice (TSP) can have their prior learning accredited towards the CIEH PTLLS qualification, as these have been mapped to the LLUK legacy tariff.  These candidates are therefore not required to complete Assignment 1 (micro-teach) but will need to complete Assignments 2 and 3.

For accreditation of prior learning however candidates' must submit their PTC or TSP certificate to verify their prior achievement.  If candidates are not able to produce a copy of their original PTC or TSP certificate, the centre may apply for a replacement certificate.  Candidates should be aware that there is a cost for replacement certificates.  A replacement certificate must be secured before the candidate undertakes training for the PTLLS award. 

Candidates completing the conversion course must also submit evidence of delivering at least one successful course within six months prior to the start of the training programme.  Evidence may take the form of a letter of verification from a client or a set of course evaluation sheets.

Presenters include:

Chris Theyer - Professional Training Consultant
