Level 3 Award in Education and Training
City & Guilds 6502
The City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Education and Training (6502) is the new introductory teacher
training qualification for those wishing to teach in the post 16 sector, in work based learning or any
type of adult learning setting. It replaces the City & Guilds Award in Preparing To Teach in the
Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS). It is also suitable for those wishing to learn basic teaching skills
or to get a taste of teaching before deciding on a career change.
We run regular courses at our Bromley centre, or can deliver to groups on employers’ premises. We
are happy to discuss your requirements.
This is a 3 unit qualification. City & Guilds is the awarding organisation. For more information please

Important:
To achieve the qualification you need to have at least Level 2 in literacy (e.g. GCSE English grade
A-C) in order to do the reading required and to write assignments of a suitable standard. Learners
are required to present their work on an e-portfolio (Ecordia) so should also have basic ICT skills.
You need to make time to do the extra reading and assignment writing. Learners are normally given
4-6 weeks after the study day on Day 6 to submit their work on Ecordia so should ensure they are
free to do the work required after the workshops.
