Teaching Assistant Qualifications

Our range of relevant Teaching Assistant qualifications aim to provide TA’s with the knowledge and skills they need, to support children and work effectively with colleagues in a school setting.

Although we understand that individual schools will set their own entry requirements for Teaching Assistant roles, we hope that many of our courses and qualifications will give jobseekers the advantage they need to find work as a TA.

Our range of courses is being continuously developed and we encourage you to keep an eye on our website for up-to-date information on our full course range.
