What's more, because the distance learning Level 3 Special Educational Needs (SEN) Teaching Assistant course is a fully comprehensive course, no prior knowledge is required.If you've always wanted to be involved in the classroom, helping children to understand how to communicate and interpret this world we've built for them, and have a passion to help those who are less or more able than the majority (gifted or talented children need help too), here's your chance to set out on a highly-rewarding and fulfilling new career.The government is pushing hard for better adult to child ratios in the classroom.
