A requirement of this programme is that you are working or volunteering for a minimum of four hours a week in a school or college (classroom setting) and, ideally, you should have been working or volunteering in a classroom setting for a minimum of one term before the course begins, (or have other relevant experience).
You will be required to attend college for three hours a week for one academic year, on a Wednesday from 9.30am–12.30pm.
This qualification is portfolio based and there are no formal exams. However, students will be observed in their classroom setting.
Successful completion of this qualification could lead to progression within employment, including higher level teaching assistant status (HLTA).
