Teaching qualification - DTLLS (Diploma for Teaching in Life Long Learning Sector)

Hi

Has anybody heard of the teaching qualification - DTLLS (Diploma for Teaching in Life Long Learning Sector).

What types of jobs can I go for if I studied for this diploma?

Does anyone know if there is a great demand for these types of teaching roles?

Thanks

One thing that it won't qualify you to do is to teach in a school as it doesn't offer QTS. Most people with it will be working in FE and you can look at available jobs nationwide in the TES.

Thanks for your reply. I would love to have a job teaching adults. The only drawback with this that I can see at the moment, is that there are going to be cutbacks/redundancies made by this new government. So, this would reduce my chances of getting a job in an FE college.

Is the FE the only place where I can get these types of teaching jobs?

I would not like to work in a secondary school since I would probably not be able to control the kids!

FE isn't just in the business of teaching adults; the main client group is 16-19 year olds.

You are the same person with 2 ID's? How strange.

Don't think that FE means they'll behave themselves. 16-19's are probably worse than secondary school children.

More like five or six IDs. I'm pretty sure it's nerd84 and geek83 and one or two others as well.

This qualifies you to teach a broad range of adults across all sectors, not just 16-19 yo's. I use my qualification to deliver training in the voluntary sector as an add-on to consultancy work.

I wasn't meaning to imply that you couldn't teach adults with this qualification; just clarifying that FE isn't an adult teaching environment.
