Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS) [Level 5]

This course is the teaching qualification associated with the full-teacher role. The course is offered in two formats: i) in-service and ii) pre-service. The in-service route is for practitioners employed within the post-compulsory sector, teaching across a minimum of two levels, with access to at least 150 teaching hours. Practitioners in this role are expected to have responsibility for curriculum development and evaluation; work with larger cohorts and with candidates working across a range of levels. The pre-service route is for applicants wishing to qualify before applying for teaching posts in the sector. In the pre-service route, the College provides teaching placements which satisfy the requirements of the full-teacher role. The course comprises level 4 and level 5 mandatory and optional units, but will be awarded at level 5 on completion. It has a total value of 120 credits.
