Ah OK, so I was right originally then? I plan to start the PTLLS in April 2012 and then do the DTLLS afterwards.

I am doing the DTLLS to get QTS and it is the same as the cert ed - it is the replacement and the qualification you get is the same. The PGCE enables you to teach from primary upwards whereas the DTLLS (or when you apply for Qualified teacher status) enables you to teach over 14's. I don't have a degree and I am doing DTLLS but could have done cert ed if they still did it down here. The cert ed is just marked at a different level if you do not have a degree.

Its the first year of the Cert Ed. After DTLLS you can go on to Cert Ed or its called a PGCE if you have a degree. Once you have that you can apply for QTLS(Qualified Teacher Learning&Skills) through the Institute for Learning

Thanks Emma for that information I will do the Cert Ed as I don't have a degree. I am NVQ trained. Looking forward to my venture into the teaching world. Will be interesting for sure!

Oh - my mistake... Is doing the PTLLS and then DTLLS beneifical prior to doing the Cert Ed then?

PTLLS hasn't replaced the Cert Ed. I did PTLLS (part time) 2 years ago then went on to DTLLS and then an extra year to do my Cert Ed.....hard work as i did it part time but i really enjoyed it and made some good friends

It's the Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning sector. It's replaced the Certificate in Education. I can then go onto the Diploma, which would give me a teaching qualification. It's £361 to do the part time course of PTLLS, and £550 to do the Diploma so that's what I'm going to do :-)

And yes, definitely, as I need the level 2 to go onto the teaching courses so ideally I'd like to do it in my own time rather than rushing it so I can get on the course.

And thanks!

Thats good news for youwhat is the PTLLS course that you are doing? There's good you are going back to do maths to. Handy to have maths though ESP with the calculations that we use day in day out and if it's been funded for even better. Good luck with everything Xxx

Well, good news. I am undertaking the PTLLS course part time on Wednesday evenings next spring, which will be mostly funded by my employers and will be doing some teaching sessions/ experience at my work's college (We have our own independent college), so all good! I'm doing a LearnDirect maths level 2 course which is funded by the government as well so I can top up my not so great GCSE, that I obtained ten years ago!

I had a baby and went back part time and it just so happened that it fitted in on my days off. It can be a bit awkward when they are short staffed as I feel I should go in and help but I have contracted hours so I try not to feel 2 bad and it's double my wages teaching so that makes it a little bit easier. I love it though and would like to do it full time eventually xx

How did you get your employees to agree to accomodating you? Did you nurse full time?

Hi I am doing the course part time, I teach one day a week, cert ed one day a week and practice the rest of the week. So far it's okay but it's only my 4 th week in so time will tell. It's for 2 years but I really enjoy teaching. It's hard work preparing for lessons but love it! Xx

Hi,

What is it like doing the Certificate in Education? Are you doing it part time or full time? I'm NVQ qualified so am interested in doing the CertEd.

If you have a degree you can do the PGCE (post-graduate certificate in education).

The cost will vary between colleges. You will need to be doing some teaching though - I have just started my PGCE and they said that I must do 150 hours over the 2 year course.

If you manage to get employment within a college then they are likely to fund your PGCE for you!!

Hi i am doing a cert/ed certificate in south wales, they do these qualificatuons all over the country, its called a PGCE if youy have a degree and a CERT ED if you dont. so far i am really enjoying and love teaching. its very time consuming preparing lessons but so different to practice plus a extra certificate if you ever want to leave practice. go for it. see if a local college can let you volunteer and do some hours to see if you like it 1st as its not for everyone, its a lot different than what people think. I think after teaching, teachers deserve all the holidays they get lol xxxx

I am interested in teaching Veterinary Nursing as well. What is the course you are doing and where are you doing it at?

Following on from the debate idea, the best discussion my class has ever had is over ethics. our lecturer posed us a scenario and asked us what we would do, and from an ethical POV if that was correct, with her playing devils advocate at every point we made!

Re: cert ed certificate to teach veterinary nursing

How about getting a debate going on a topic. You could present some facts and background info then ask for class opinions for and against.

Maybe open or closed urinary catheter systems? Or splint vs robert Jones?

Or you could do a CPCR session and really get the class involved- label people as A, B, C or D and get them up in order to carry out their duty whilest explaining each step as you go....maybe?
