Teacher Training
Working as a teaching assistant involves supporting the lead teacher in delivering educational activities, managing classroom behaviour, and providing individual attention to students to enhance their learning experience. Teaching assistants also help with administrative tasks, prepare learning materials, and collaborate with educators and parents to ensure that each student’s academic and developmental needs are met.
Student
Sam says... I had great support with my qualification from my assessor when I needed it and really enjoyed how the course focused on developing skills needed for working.
Careers
Assessor
Rebecca says... I enjoy working with students, who currently range from ages 17 to 62, to help assess their practice and offer further relevant training. I have come full circle working here at Weymouth College, as I studied A-Levels here when I left school. It was a positive experience which I hope to disseminate to my learners now.
