Level 5 Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS)

  

The Level 5 Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS) is designed to equip someone with the skills and knowledge required to take up the role of a full teacher. This is interpreted as someone who is entering the profession and taking on the full responsibilities of a teacher. On completion, this award enables a teacher to apply for QTLS (see the note below).

DTLLS is designed to provide:

  • education and training for those hoping to enter, or entering, the education sector to provide teaching or training in the lifelong learning sector
  • opportunities for teachers in the field of education to achieve a nationally recognised, vocationally specific Level 5 qualification
  • opportunities for full-time learners to gain a nationally-recognised vocationally specific qualification to enter employment in the field of teaching or to progress to further vocational qualifications, including QTLS licence status
  • the knowledge, understanding and skills learners need to teach
  • opportunities for learners to focus on the development of essential skills within the context of teaching
  • opportunities for learners to develop a range of skills and techniques, personal qualities and attitudes essential for successful performance in working life
  • transferable units which carry appropriate levels of credit to allow for accrediting prior experience or learning between the different stages of working towards qualified teacher status.

From September 2007 all new teachers in Further Education (FE) sector must gain a Licence to Practise at the start of their teaching career. This can be achieved by the completion of Edexcel Level 5 Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS) qualification. On completion of the Edexcel Level 5 BTEC Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS) a teacher will have the opportunity to claim Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status through a recognition process managed by the Institute for Learning. This qualification can be used to gain QTLS and Licence to Practise. Once the learner has achieved QTLS status and successfully completed a period of professional formation they can apply for a Licence to Practise.
