Brand New to Bright Assessing – CTLLS Level 4 (Assessor Route)
About the course
The CTLLS qualification is required for those carrying out an Associate Teacher Role. An associate teaching role means a teaching role that carries significantly less responsibilities ordinarily carried out in a full teaching role such as curriculum development. Bright now offers the CTLLS Assessor route, also giving you the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement.
Bright has created this course due to the similarity in units – you will achieve 2 qualifications for very little extra work. Qualified Assessors are in high demand at the moment and having this certificate will increase your employability as a teacher. If you are working at or aiming for full teacher role, you will need to complete the full DTLLS diploma.
Entry Requirements
You must be aged 19 or over and have sound literacy and numeracy skills. You also need access to 30 hours teaching.
Unlike other training providers, our CTLLS teaching course fees are all inclusive with no hidden costs for things like travel and observations. Bright provide everything you need to qualify.
