Level 3 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools

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:
