Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) have developed the Level 3 Award in Education & Training as a result of the New Overarching Professional Standards for Teachers, Tutors & Trainers working in the Lifelong Learning Sector.

This Award is designed for those entering the teaching profession in the Lifelong Learning Sector or for anyone required to obtain recognised teaching status as defined in the Lifelong Learning Sector’s New Overarching Professional Standards for Teachers, Tutors & Trainers. If you provide funded Work-Based Learning (WBL) as a trainer, you may also need to obtain the Level 3 Award to fulfill your funding requirements.
