Teaching

Teaching Assistants play a vital role in helping children succeed, providing support, encouragement and guidance that enables learners to reach their full potential. Whether helping a child overcome challenges, build confidence or achieve their goals, the impact of a Teaching Assistant can be truly life-changing. For many adults, it is also a rewarding and flexible career that can fit around family life and personal commitments.

Our Supporting Teaching and Learning course is ideal for those who are already working within a school environment, as well as individuals looking to begin a career as a Teaching Assistant. Designed to develop your knowledge, skills and confidence, the course provides a thorough understanding of how to support teaching, learning and pupil development within an educational setting.

To undertake the course, you must either be employed in a school as a Teaching Assistant or complete a voluntary placement within a school for a minimum of six hours per week. This practical experience allows you to apply your learning in a real classroom environment and gain valuable insight into the role.

You'll be taught by experienced tutors who have worked extensively within primary education and bring a wealth of industry knowledge, practical advice and classroom experience to every session. Their guidance and support will help you build the skills needed to progress confidently towards a rewarding career in education.
