Gemma asked:

Hi All I would like to do an teaching assistant course but nit sure which one to do. I will be a beginner at this. Can someone help me please?

Answer:

Hi Gemma, Thats wonderful to hear and we can certainly assist you with this. First and foremost you need to stay away from ANY CPD course as they are NOT recognised and will NOT help you in finding employment. ALL schools will want you to have the relevant (RQF) qualification for Supporting Teaching & Learning. This is Government regutlater and will enable you to gain employment. Again, don't use any CPD courses as they are a waste of time and your money regardless if they cost £12!

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.
