About the course
If you enjoy helping others learn and want to work in a school, this course is for you!
The Assisting Teaching T Level teaches you how to support pupils and teachers in the classroom. You’ll learn about child development, how to keep children safe, how to help with learning activities, and how to support pupils with different needs.
You’ll spend time in college learning key skills, and also complete a real work placement in a school—so you get hands-on experience and build confidence.
