At the Bedfordshire Employment and Skills Academy, we work with local schools to bring you this fantastic opportunity to learn what it’s like to work in school as a teaching assistant or learning support assistant, whilst completing a nationally recognised qualification.
The Level 2 Support Work in Schools course is an introductory course delivered over 13 sessions, aimed at those who wish to start a career in support work in schools, for example as a teaching assistant.
You’ll start off by understanding the role and value of being a volunteer, and then move on to develop your knowledge around how schools operate; the legislation that must be followed; how children develop and learn and how to support this development in the classroom.
