Introduction:
This new NVQ will replace the level 3 NVQ for teaching assistants (TAs). The supporting teaching and learning in schools (STL) NVQs have been developed to reflect changes in support staff roles. They still cover the teaching assistant role but have been broadened in scope to include new roles and responsibilities such as cover supervision, exam invigilation, pastoral care and others. The change in title reflects the wider range of job titles covered by the new qualifications.
