What the college says

This is a Level 2 qualification equating to GCSE (grade A-C) and, therefore, assignments will require this level of competence in English. You should be able to follow spoken and written instructions, read handouts/exercises and take part in group discussions. This Teaching Assistant course will include tutor input plus small group work, tutorials and practical workshops. You will receive guidance in producing an online E-portfolio of evidence that will be submitted for assessment. Tutors will give feedback on homework assignments as well as classroom activities; tutorials will also be included. The assessment of this course includes two observations of your working practice within the school following which feedback will be given. Students should expect to spend approximately 5-8 hours a week working on course assignments in addition to the course hours delivered via Zoom to begin with and then in the classroom when safe to do so, plus the hours in your school placement throughout the course. You are required to attend a minimum 90% of the course. A paid or voluntary school placement is essential for a minimum of one day a week in a primary, secondary or special educational setting. Due to the current pandemic the school placement, which is organised by the student, needs to be in place by December 2024 at the latest. Students also need to have an enhanced DBS check. Students should initially contact their placement school to discuss local DBS arrangements. Please note that
