Level 3 Teaching Assistant
The Skills Network's Apprenticeship for Teaching Assistants at level 3 will aid Apprentices in supporting the teacher to enhance pupil's learning and ensure each individual understands the work set and their learning objectives. Apprentices will build on their pastoral skills by promoting self-belief, social inclusion and high self-esteem into each pupil's well being.
At The Skills Network, prior attainment is carefully considered from the start to ensure time on programme within employment is maximised. The Skills Network's thorough IAG ensures that each Apprentice understands the context of their learning, the assessment methodology and that their future career progression is carefully mapped into their journey by their Assessor.
In addition, the curriculum scoping exercise provides an opportunity to review prior learning and completed qualifications, with the aim of personalising Apprenticeships to support and enhance your business, and therefore your Apprentices’ progress and progression.
<ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
