The OCR Level 3/4 Certificates in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector are aimed at teachers who work in an Associate Teacher role. LLUK define an associate Teacher as someone who teaches predominantly in at least one of the following ways, regardless of the amount of teaching undertaken:

  • from packs/pre-prepared materials, and therefore has fewer responsibilities in design of curriculum and materials generally
  • on a one to one basis
  • a programme confined to  a particular level/ subject/ type of learner (i.e. does not develop or deliver a full range across a curriculum area)
  • short courses

 These qualifications lead to and are one element of ATLS status.
