Level 2 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning

You'll need a reasonable level of literacy and numeracy. You need a paid or voluntary teaching support placement of six hours a week or more for the whole of your course. You'll need to arrange this before you enrol. It can be in a primary, secondary, or special care school but not a nursery. You'll need to arrange with your placement school for your DBS check. We can interview you before you arrange your placement but you must bring proof of your placement to enrolment to get onto the course.

Progress on to a Level 3 course in supporting teaching and learning.

You will attend an online class for 3 hours per week throughout the academic year and build portfolios through regular submission of written assignments. Each unit of study requires experience in the classroom, allowing students to apply theory to practice and to discuss placement experiences whilst at college.

The course is assessed by a portfolio of evidence. You'll also be visited by an assessor to observe you supporting learning in the workplace.
