Ok so I know it's now called something else rather than ptlls but I'm referring to the equivalent thereof (level 3/4 award in education and teaching).
So I'm weighing up whether to do a teacher training course at college that is the equivalent of ptlls. Some people say it's a way to get a foot in the door working in a college but others say that it's not enough and a full pgce is needed.
In an ideal world I'd do the pgce but the intensity of it isn't compatible with my health and I can see that being the case maybe for quite a while. I'm thinking maybe I should do a ptlls course for now because at least that's something but I don't want to waste my money and find that it doesn't get me the job I want.
So my question is, has ptlls served the purpose of getting you work teaching in a college or is a higher teaching qualification required?
Thanks in advance
