Train the Trainer
Literacy, Language and Numeracy in the context of finance
| Date: | 13 and 14 November 2008 |
| Venue: | London |
NIACE is offering an opportunity for experienced Literacy, Language and Numeracy (LLN) practitioners to attend this free two day event on 13th & 14th November 2008 in London.
Having the skills to manage personal finances is becoming more and more of an issue for all adults and clearly good literacy, language and numeracy skills play an important part in this. Over the last 3 years NIACE has developed and delivered training for LLN practitioners to enable them to deliver LLN in a financial context. However there is a need for many more practitioners to develop the skills to deliver such training.
Content
Gain an OCN level 3 qualification in delivering LLN in a financial context.
Develop skills to train other tutors to deliver LLN in a financial context.
Participants will need to:
 | carry out some advance reading and contribute to a presentation summarising findings |
| complete a micro teach during the event |
| produce and submit a portfolio after the event to achieve the level 3 award |

You will need to have:
| at least five years experience of delivering literacy, language or numeracy |
