Previous Training

Previous training developed and delivered by Artworks includes:

• C3: Creative Communities Course (PTLLS)
  
  The PTLLS course offers an exciting personal and professional development qualification which can start you on the pathway to qualified teacher status. PTLLS is increasingly required as a standard for teaching and delivering workshops by funding bodies and agencies. The Creative Communities Course (PTLLS) is designed for learners who are or wish to be community artists, and the teaching is put into this context.  The course is delivered over 30 hours and you will need to find at least 30 hours of private study time to complete assessments. 
   
  Artworks aims to run these courses twice a year as part of our creative development programme for artists and creative practitioners.
