What is the PTP?
PTP stands for ‘Professional Training Programme’ and it is the training that is provided to subject learning coaches. The training covers coaching skills – using the GROW model – as well as the subject-focused teaching and learning frameworks that support SLCs and their work. The PTP is a blended learning model with an online e-learning element supported by an e-tutor and two days of training activities with other SLCs-in-training. Participants in the PTP will have opportunities to practise their coaching skills and engage in an action research project. SLCs can aim just to complete their programme successfully, or they can choose to achieve a Higher Education award at Level 4 or 7 with the Westminster Institue of Education.
