Description
Do you want to work in a school but have no idea where to begin? If so, our teaching assistant course is built for exactly that. England has about 295,200 teaching assistants. Schools took on 6,200 more last year, so the jobs are there for you.
Two thirds of them work in nursery and primary schools, so that is probably where you land. Our online teaching assistant course takes you through the classroom, behaviour and safeguarding. You'll learn where your job ends and the teacher's begins.
Schools hire people with no classroom background all the time. Take this teaching assistant training before you apply or while you volunteer a day a week. You arrive knowing the words schools actually use.
Teaching Assistant Course Features:
- 100% online learning
- Free CPD-certified digital certificate
- Optional printed certificate
- Lifetime course access
- Free assessment retakes
- Study around the school run
- Covers behaviour, safeguarding and inclusion
- Includes child development and lesson support
- Written for volunteers and classroom newcomers
What Makes Our Programme Different
No licence covers this job. Every school does insist on an enhanced background check. Schools arrange that themselves once they hire you. The recognised qualifications are the Level 2 and Level 3 awards in supporting teaching and learning. A Level 3 apprenticeship does the same job. We teach the knowledge side. The qualification and the check come later, through the school.Teaching Assistant Course Learning Outcomes
Finish up able to:- Describe what a teaching assistant is responsible for day-to-day.
- Work alongside a teacher without stepping on the lesson.
- Handle behaviour in ways that calm a room down.
- Keep children safe and know the safeguarding route when something worries you.
- Talk to children, parents and staff without losing the professional line.
- Build inclusion into activities so nobody sits out.
- Support a learning activity the teacher has planned.
- Recognise the stages of child development and what they mean in class.
- Mentor a pupil through a change they are struggling with.
Assessment Method
You'll take a short quiz after each part of the course. Get 60%, and you move on. Don't stress if you miss it the first time, because you can retry as many times as you want.How Long Does the Teaching Assistant Course Take to Learn?
School terms do not leave much spare time, so this fits into evenings. A handful of them does it. Teaching assistant training online works that way for most people. Interviewers ask about safeguarding, so give that part the longest.Recommended Renewal
This is the month to watch. That is when safeguarding guidance for schools gets reissued. Schools update their own training to match, so come back and do the same. Two years is fine for everything else.Key Takeaways from This Training
You come out with:- Behaviour tactics that survive a bad Monday.
- You will know exactly who to tell.
- Child development, in plain language.
- Something solid for the application form.
