Supporting Teaching & Learning in Schools Qualifications are work-based nationally recognised qualifications, designed to benchmark the skills an employee needs to do their job effectively. They offer candidates a qualification in the workplace that relates to their job, and promote good working practice. There is no strict time limit for doing the Certificate, though on average a level 2 takes around nine months to complete, a Level 3 around ten months. A commitment of around 2 hours a week is required.
The Certificate combines two aspects of learning:
Underpinning knowledge - Covers the theory behind the qualification and is delivered via combination of workshops, text books and online learning.
Assessment - an employee demonstrating, via their job, that they can apply this knowledge to their role. Continuous assessment will be covered by portfolio building, collection of evidence of carrying out the required tasks detailed in the Certificate, eg. copies of records and witness testimonies
Suitable for all staff who work with teachers in classrooms supporting the learning process in primary, special and secondary schools, such as; teaching assistants, classroom assistants, learning support or a special needs assistant.
There are no mandatory entry requirements for this qualification. However candidates must be currently working in a classroom setting. We expect applicants to demonstrate a "can do" attitude and have at least basic numeracy and literacy skills on which the course will build.
