Most schools and academic institutions impose minimum entry requirements of GCSEs grades 9 to 4 (A* to C) in English and maths.  It is not strictly necessary to have a formal degree in teaching or a similar qualification to become a teaching assistant, but applicants will be expected to provide evidence of a relevant and appropriate educational background.

The of role of the teaching assistant is varied and multi-disciplined, encompassing everything from basic administrative tasks to playing a direct role in the education of pupils of all ages.  Flexibility and adaptability are therefore essential, as is patience and a natural problem-solving attitude.  Of course, you also need to have a genuine passion for working with and supporting children.

We offer a variety of entry-level courses that can be taken for free, which include all study aids and learning materials as standard. Free courses that could prove helpful in pursuit of a career as a teaching assistant.

Each of our courses comes with a suggestion of a recommended study hours, though there are no fixed study schedules or deadlines imposed. All learners are free to complete their courses as quickly or gradually as they like, which can be anything from a few days to several months. The more hours you dedicate to your course weekly, the faster you will be able to complete it.
