Course Description
You MUST be working or volunteering within a school setting to complete this course.
About 15% of students in England (ages 3-19) have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Of these students, about 22% have statements or educational health care plans (EHCP). This highlights the growing need for support in the SEND sector and the demand for qualified teaching assistants in schools.
This Level 3 Teaching Assistant Qualification with SEND pathway is a structured program that offers a rewarding career in SEND. The program combines practical experience and theoretical knowledge to help you develop the skills you need to effectively support students with SEND.
As a teaching assistant, you will typically work with small groups of students with SEND to help them get the most out of classroom life and achieve their learning goals. You will provide individualised support, promote inclusion, and help students with SEND thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
