Roles, responsibilities and relationships
Teaching responsibilities, legislation, equality and diversity, learner needs, professional boundaries, referral, behaviour and respect.
Detailed examples covering roles and responsibilities, inclusive teaching, micro-teaching and assessment. The material is based on genuine teaching and training work and has been rewritten and updated for the current AET rather than simply relabelled from the former PTLLS qualification.
The site follows the City & Guilds 6502-31 structure as a clear reference point. If your provider uses another awarding organisation, the same themes may appear under different unit numbers or assessment questions.
Teaching responsibilities, legislation, equality and diversity, learner needs, professional boundaries, referral, behaviour and respect.
Inclusive approaches, English and maths, ICT and wider skills, session planning, micro-teaching, learner engagement and reflective evaluation.
Assessment types and methods, adapting assessment, peer and self-assessment, constructive feedback and assessment records.
If you are working on a specific topic, these pages take you directly to the detailed example rather than making you search through a long course overview.
This site began as a collection of assignments I completed for a Level 4 PTLLS qualification. The current AET material keeps useful first-hand teaching and training examples instead of replacing them with generic scenarios.
Old legislation, organisations and educational assumptions have been reviewed. Where current AET requirements go further than the old PTLLS material, new content has been added rather than pretending the qualifications are identical.
Qualification structure and current requirements are checked against City & Guilds and relevant UK official guidance. The essays also link to source material so you can verify important points for yourself.
The domain still uses the former PTLLS name because this website originally documented my PTLLS studies. The main learning content is now focused on the Award in Education and Training. If you arrived looking for an old PTLLS assignment, the relevant historic URL now points you towards the closest current AET topic.

For consistency, these pages use the City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Education and Training (6502-31) as the main reference structure. City & Guilds currently lists the qualification and its Level 3 handbook, while other awarding organisations may use different unit structures or assessment wording. Always check your own provider's current specification before preparing assessed work.
City & Guilds: Education and Training (6502)
The aim is to help students understand what a thoughtful answer can look like: explaining why something matters, connecting theory to practice and using realistic examples. The modernised pages are edited for accuracy, clarity and current terminology, while keeping the original author's practical voice where it remains useful.
