Entry Requirements
Entry requirement includes a confirmation letter of 12 hours placement per week for the duration of the course within an school setting. You will need to have a minimum functional skills level 1 in literacy and numeracy. Complete Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks will be required. The full time 16-18 & HE courses cover DBS as part of the induction. Learners must be 19 years and over.
Delivery and Assessment
There are no tests or exams. Instead you will be assessed in your placement school, and by completing assignments. You will be allocated an assessor who will assess your knowledge by direct observation of your practice and through professional discussion. You will also need to demonstrate reflection on your own practice in real work situations. Written assignments will include your own development plans and written records of your skills and knowledge. We will support you in developing your ICT skills by completing an electronic portfolio of your work and placement evidence.
Progression
After completing your Certificate, you may want to progress to the Level 3 Certificate or Diploma course. Alternatively, you might want to seek employment as a teaching assistant – our programmes provide excellent prospects for employment in schools.
