TA Online Training

Four online courses for TAs to become outstanding.

What are the TA online training courses?

The aim of these courses is to advance your skills and confidence as a Teaching Assistant and to ultimately improve standards in the classroom. TAs will liaise with their line manager throughout the courses to provide them with support and guidance. The courses come complete with coursework which is reviewed with their line manager.

Succeeding in this course doesn’t mean getting all the answers right. It means making positive changes to practice, using the skills learnt here to support pupils every day in the classroom.

By the end, TAs will have learnt and tried out a whole range of practical techniques to help their pupils, whatever their needs, to learn together with the rest of their class.
