Further Education and Skills
The PTLLS qualification has since been replaced with the Award in Education and Training (with a text book of the same name). However, the text in this book will help you to:
*make the most of your taught sessions and self study time by examining effective note taking, group activities, research and resource evaluation;
*succeed in your practical sessions;
*prepare for assignments and use academic writing and referencing.
Please note: The qualifications and standards mentioned in the book have since been updated.
Book is easy to follow, providing clear guidance and tips that students find useful. Students commented on how they have found it 'brilliant' and keep it alongside them as they study/write.
Very appropriate for PTLLS students.
excellent
I lent candidates this book to trial and the feedback was good. They said it was easy to read, not too academic and particularly like the 'presenting your work' section starting on page 105, as it helped them focus on the writing process. Many candidates are not confident with grammar and spelling and the examples of conjunctions etc. were really useful.
Many students want to expand on their qualifications the PLTS book is great for giving insight into the PLTS. those students that wish to develop further said they would buy this book to guide them.
A good choice for those learners needing further support.
The book is a good support tool for those returning to study, whether PTLLS or an alternative qualification as there are many useful hints and tips. The content is delivered in a supportive manner that sets the standards of what to expect at this level of study. The chapter regarding reflective journal writing will benefit any learner undertaking the course as this is often a difficult concept to master.
This further engaging read is really worth recommending to students who have no recent or little study and research experience to support their learning and progression. It will help ignite sound study skills and writing compilations.
This is a well written book for my PTLLS learners it covers all the mandatory units and it is more than excellent read. The level of english is adequate for those undertaking the course and it has been a very indispensable resource. Would definitely recommend it as an essential read.
An excellent and appropriate read for ant Ptlls student. It is also really good for students returning to education after a long time away.
