Overview

The Teaching Assistant TQUK Level 3 Award (QCF) Recognised Qualification is for those looking to work as a Teaching Assistant / Classroom Assistant.

Teaching assistants support children with their learning activities in the classroom. They work closely with teachers to make sure pupils enjoy learning in a safe and caring setting.

If you like working with children and want to play a part in their education and well being, a career as a teaching assistant could be ideal for you. You'll need to have the ability to work closely with parents and teachers. You'll also need good literacy and numeracy skills, as well as creative ideas for activities when teaching children on a daily basis.

To work as a teaching assistant or classroom assistant, you will usually need some experience or a qualification that is recognised such as a (QCF) Qualifications Credit Framework.

This purchase is for the learning materials, with weekly 1:1 tutorial via Skype. Please note that the final assessment fee required for certification is not included in this price. You will need to pay for the assessment and certification of all four units. Payment of £80 is required for each unit after submitting coursework for assessment and certification.

What's included:

You will have access to a tutor, via email, who will mark your work and guide you through the course to help you prepare for your assignments.

The podcast lessons enable you to watch your tutor and hear your tutor as you complete each unit. Full tutor support is offered throughout the course to ensure your learning outcomes are met to a satisfactory standard.

I will be 62 years in march, do you think its too late for me to take this course, i have worked in health and social care most of my working life.

Answer:

Education and Training can never be too late at any time in one's lifetime. You have worked in the Health & Social Care for a long time and interestingly, there is a strong link between what you have previously done to what Supporting Teaching and Teaching in School entails. This means that you have lots of transferable skills that would be needed in our schools.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
