Any Teaching Assistants out there?!

[Jacks50]

I'm hoping to become a teaching assistant and have been told that I need to do a NVQ Level 3 to be able to do this.

I'm having trouble finding somewhere local where I can do this course and I just wondered if anyone out there has done it and if so where did you do it?!

Thanks so much!

Try smart training, office based uptown but do local courses all over

Try Bromley College or Greenwich, or training providers with good reputations. I will PM you two (although I use them for Early Years qualifications) which may offer this course. I have't heard positive feedback about Smart Training however. Make sure you will have good contact with your assessors - observations are crucial and many people pay for online courses and miss out on the practical hands on experience and critical feedback. I think you'll need GCSEs in Maths and English at C or above too. Are you already volunteering as a TA?
