If you\u2019ve considered becoming a teaching assistant, now would be the perfect time. TA\u2019s are in high demand, plus there is plenty of opportunity to progress your career. Potentially earning a higher wage and having the option to work in specialist areas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Level 3 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning<\/strong><\/a> teaches you what you need to know to become a qualified TA. While this helps you get you into the role, it a great platform for further learning. You could secure a senior position by building up your skills through further learning. Becoming a higher level teaching assistant, teaching English as a second language or working with special needs pupils. All of which require a variety of skills and ability that you would acquire through further education.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Alternatively, you could study the Level 3 Diploma in Supporting Teaching and Learning<\/strong><\/a>. This fully prepares you to work with children and young people with learning disabilities or special educational needs. So, on completing the course you can provide specialist support to those learning in primary, secondary or special schools, as well as colleges. It also provides the potential to study a foundation degree.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hands-on Experience<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Walking into a classroom without any practical experience would be intimidating for anyone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That\u2019s why a work placement is a compulsory part of your learning. This lets you experience the classroom environment first hand, giving you a taste for the role and allowing you to apply your learning once you qualify.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You\u2019ll be a step ahead of the rest as most teaching assistant positions ask for previous experience. You will be in a position to offer a qualification, demonstrating your commitment and knowledge. Plus, you will be able to provide real world examples of how you\u2019ve put that learning in to practice and the outcomes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For head teachers, looking for the best support they can find, this will make you a very attractive candidate. As both courses are awarded by the NCFE and recognised by Ofqual, they are looked upon favourably by employers.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By devoting your time to helping pupils excel, you can enhance what they get out of their education.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
