What the college says

The one-year Level 3 Diploma in Supporting Teaching and Learning course is for adults who want to be employed in roles providing specialised support for pupils' learning in primary, secondary, or special schools, as well as colleges. You�ll gain the skills needed to work with children and young people in a classroom environment alongside the teacher to support whole class activities as well as working with individuals or groups of pupils. If you are already a TA at Level 1 or 2, this course will allow you to take on more responsibilities and further your career.

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
