Study Skills for PTLLS

Second Edition


November 2012 | 168 pages | Learning Matters

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.

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.

Very useful for our level 4 students in need of a text that is accessible at their level.

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.

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.

This has been invaluable for students on the PTLLS course. It is written in a non-condescending practical manner with lots of hints and tips to complete assignments.

A good choice for those learners needing further support.

Useful guide for learners who have been out of study for a long time and are returning to learning. It focusses on the specific qualification studied which is better than the generic study skills books. It can also be used for CTLLS.

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.
