Nationally Recognised TA Qualifications

BTEC, Diploma, Certificates, NVQ Level 2 and Level 3

teaching assistant coursesOf the teaching assistant courses available to you, most are suitable for giving you the pre-requisite skills for becoming a teaching or classroom assistant. There is no one single nationally recognised qualification for becoming a teaching assistant. There are however national occupational standards that people in the role must meet. All teaching assistant course providers are aware that you must meet this criteria and tailor their content accordingly.

Options for study include teaching assistant certificates and diplomas. These are usually offered by online providers in a distance learning capacity. This is an excellent option for those who have other responsibilities and want to self pace their studies. If you choose to take a teaching assistant certificate or diploma from an online provider, be aware that practical time in the classroom will not be included with the course.

  • Teaching Assistant Certificate
  • Classroom Assistant Qualification
  • Level 2 Award as a Teaching Assistant
