PTLLS Assignment 1
Describe what your role, responsibilities and boundaries would be as a teacher in terms of the teaching/training cycle.
I am an NVQ Assessor with an independent training provider delivering apprenticeship programs to students aged 16-24.

If such needs are identified I can provide more one to one support and signpost the learner to resources such as the BBC Skillswise website.
