Thanks to all our face to face and distance learning PTLLS learners who excelled on the micro-teach delivery workshop at the Wrightington Country Club.  Good luck for the future from Graham, Neil and Martin.  

Here are a few of your kind comments:

‘The range of teaching methods used enabled me to understand the relevance of their use’

‘Feedback was always constructive’

‘Great food, lovely venue’

‘A well presented course with constant engagement’

‘Very informative and relevant’

‘The trainers approach made me feel at ease, I would recommend Maxam Training to any organisation’  

Lorna Unwin from the new Commission on Adult Vocational Pedagogy makes some interesting observations about the ‘dynamic and multi-faceted world of work’ of FE and Skills Teachers.

Amongst other interesting comments, Unwin identifies that within this area of the sector, ‘the boundary between teacher and learner tends to be more fluid with greater use of team work and collective problem solving’.

The team at Maxam Training are pleased to announce that from the end of December 2011, all our PTLLS courses, both face to face delivery and distance learning, will be in the format of the new 12 Credit qualification.  This amended PTLLS qualification was introduced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) in October 2011 and will completely replace the former 6 Credit version in early 2012.

Although we are still finalising the required programme amendments, we are able to announce the following information:

Our former face to face programme will remain largely in its current format and will continue to be delivered over a 5 day period.  It will however, be followed by a short distance learning programme to cover the additional material.

All our previous learners who have now completed the original 6 Credit qualification will be credited with the new 12 Credit qualification when they progress their teacher training onto the CTLLS and/or DTLLS courses.

Although our pricing structure is under review, all learners who confirm places on any of our future PTLLS courses before the end of December 2011 will not be affected by any price increases should they be required.

Learners who are currently working through a PTLLS distance learning programme will remain on the 6 Credit programme, but will be credited with the new qualification on completion. Again, there will be no additional cost implications.

Full details will be posted on our PTLLS page in due course.

How do you finish a session off in an imaginative way that checks on learning achievement?

I thought this was an excellent assessment resource from Training Source UK.
