NOCN Level 3 Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (QCF)
The NOCN Level 3 Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (QCF) is designed as a first step for new teachers entering the post-16 teaching/training profession and is available for all teachers, in a full or associate role.
The qualification has been developed by Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) in consultation with Awarding Bodies and providers as part of the teaching qualifications framework (TQF) for the FE sector, which includes the voluntary and community sectors and FE colleges.
From September 2007, all new teachers are required to gain a Licence to Practice at the start of their career. The NOCN Level 3 Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (QCF) are introductory programmes suitable for all new teachers in the sector and provides the minimum statutory standard for all those entering the teaching profession. Learners achieving one of the qualifications will gain a threshold Licence to Practice, which then needs to be converted into either the Certificate or Diploma to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector within five years.
The qualification is offered at Level 3 and is also a direct progression route into the Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS).
Course content
The module covers themes of adult learning in general including: identifying the learners, assessing their skills, lesson planning and delivery. However, integral to this module are references to subject-specific adult literacy teaching and two of the six taught days will be dedicated to subject specialist training.
