Stonebridge Spotlight – Teaching Assistant Courses

Written by Andy Martin

Because we have such a varied student based from all around the world and one of the best Distance Learning Colleges around, we have quite a back catalogue of courses in so many different categories. This can therefore lead to several courses being missed by prospective students or students that are looking to continue their studies with us further.

This is why over the coming months we will be running a series of blogs designed to highlight a course category and a range of courses in that category, to help you make an informed decision and highlight any courses which you may have missed whilst browsing. Our first for this approaching is our range of Teaching Assistant Courses.

A Teaching Assistant does a lot more than simply follow the instructions of a classroom teacher, they have to be proactive and inventive when it comes to handling children of all ages and with a range of different learning styles. This is why we have a wide range of different Teaching Assistant Courses available to choose from:

Child Care & Education

Our Child Care and Education Course is aimed at anyone who anyone wanting to work with Children and Young People.

    I really admire teachers, aNs teaching assistants, I could never do it as a job. My sister was an art teacher for 7 years at a secondary school and now offers one to one tuition, as well as running art schools in the school holidays.

    Such Great teaching assistant courses. I’m currently doing Child Psychology and Early learning and childcare level 3. Also got CBT to do, I like the look of the play work and special educational needs courses too. This post has helped to see the courses that would be good for me to progress into the child care profession.
