Course overview
For this course you will be attending college for one day per week and working in your placement school for two days per week.
You will cover a wide range of areas including children and young people’s development, supporting those with disabilities or special educational needs and communication and professional relationships.
You will carry out lots of different activities in class, working in groups and individually, looking at case studies and making links between what you learn at college and what you experience on placement.
Course details
You should be at least 16 years old with a minimum of four GCSE’s Grade 3 (D) or above to include English and Maths. Complete Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks will be required.
There are no tests or exams. Instead you will be assessed in your placement school, and by completing assignments. You will be allocated an assessor who will assess your knowledge by direct observation of your practice and through professional discussion. You will also need to demonstrate reflection on your own practice in real work situations. Written assignments will include your own development plans and written records of your skills and knowledge. We will support you in developing your ICT skills by completing an electronic portfolio of your work and placement evidence.
After completing your certificate, you may want to progress to the T level in Assisting Teaching. This course will allow you to work in roles that offer specialist support for pupils’ learning in primary, secondary or special schools.
