Supporting in Schools
All of our Supporting in Schools qualifications during 2023/2024 will be delivered online by a teacher via zoom and an e-learning platform with face to face support sessions and visits into the workplace. We offer our short introductory course Becoming a Teaching Assistant face to face at our centre in Arndale House.
