Courses for Teaching Assistants in primary and secondary schools
Are you working or volunteering in a school or educational setting and interested in developing your skills? Would you like to support children’s learning in a school setting?
What is on offer?
Learn Devon is offering two qualification courses for those who are interested in supporting teaching and learning in primary or secondary schools. The courses are available to current teaching assistants or learning support staff and to those who would be interested in working in these areas.
- For current teaching assistants or learning support staff, the Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools (STLS) – Level 2 Certificate and Award courses are available.
- For people interested in becoming a teaching assistants or member of learning support staff, the Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools (STLS) – Level 2 Award course is available, with the option to progress onto the Certificate.
Both courses cover key aspects about working in a school environment: communication and maintaining professional relations, child development, safeguarding and equality. The STLS Level 2 Certificate course has further units to support you in your role.
