It's one of the most rewarding jobs in the world...
Life-changing... truly rewarding... incredibly inspiring. These are just some of the phrases used by Telford College students to describe their roles as teaching assistants. A new series of Supporting Teaching & Learning courses start at the college in September, with study hours deliberately designed to fit around people’s busy lifestyles.
There are two programmes starting this month – a level two course including at least half a day each week on placement, and a level three course where you will spend a full day each week at a local employer.
And the good news is that, in the majority of instances, the courses are fully-funded, so there may be nothing for students to pay.
Tutor Rachael Round said: “Teaching assistant courses are specially designed for those who enjoy being with children and young people. If you’re enthusiastic about sharing your knowledge, this could be the perfect career for you.
“It’s no exaggeration to say that these courses can be life-changing – that’s what some of our students tell us.
