The 1st4sport Level 3 Award in Delivering Learning (QCF) is an entry level qualification for anyone wanting to teach/tutor/train learners aged 16 and over, and who are not required to hold PTLLS (ie typically for those who regularly operate within non-funded provision). It provides knowledge and skills of how to plan, deliver, manage, facilitate and review learning sessions. The qualification is transferable to any sector your learners have occupational competence in, and provides a national benchmark of good practice for England. Learners can complete the qualification without additional access to teaching/tutoring/ training experience.
Those who complete this qualification and wish to progress to the PTLLS will benefit from Credit Accumulation Transfer (CAT), as some of the units in PTLLS will already have been achieved.
Prerequisites
Learners are required to be 18 years or over and hold a level 3 qualification (or equivalent) in a specialist subject area
Structure
The qualification is divided into the following units:
| Unit Title | Accreditation No. | GLH | Credit |
| Understanding inclusive learning and teaching in lifelong learning | T/503/1233 | 12 | 3 |
| Using inclusive learning and teaching approaches in lifelong learning | Y/503/1242 | 12 | 3 |
