Apprenticeships
This occupation is found in primary, secondary, special schools, alternative provision, and further education institutions such as sixth forms and colleges. Teaching Assistants work across all age ranges, supporting all learners. The purpose of this occupation is to support the class teacher to enhance learners’ progress and development.
Teaching Assistants ensure that learners understand their work, know their learning objectives, and display positive learning behaviours to make progress. They deliver individual and small group activities, under the direction and supervision of a qualified teacher.
• A certificate of completion from the Institute for Apprenticeships.
Apprentices could progress to team leader or department supervisor
All apprentices will complete an End Point Assessment, which will consist of a knowledge test, practical skills test and professional interview and/or presentation, based on a portfolio of evidence.
• Suitable employment on or prior to starting the apprenticeship training programme.
• An appropriate level of maths and English (assessed prior to apprenticeship start)
• Apprentices without English or maths (at Level 2 for a Level 3 Apprenticeship or Level 1 for a Level 2 Apprenticeship) must achieve this prior to taking the End Point Assessment).
We can support you to achieve the desired level of maths and English, through functional skills taught sessions which are mandatory to attend as part of your programme (you cannot achieve your apprenticeship without the required level of maths and English).
