The Teaching Assistant Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard is a comprehensive program that aims to provide individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to work effectively as a teaching assistant in a classroom setting. It covers a wide range of topics, including child development, classroom management, and curriculum planning.
The apprenticeship is designed for individuals who are already working as teaching assistants or for those who want to start a career in this field. The program is suitable for individuals who want to advance their skills and knowledge in the field of teaching assistance, and want to gain the qualifications needed to work in this profession.
Throughout the apprenticeship, individuals will learn how to support the teacher in planning and delivering lessons, how to work with children with different abilities and how to work with children with special education needs. They will also learn how to monitor the progress of children, how to provide feedback to the teacher and how to use this information to support the children’s learning.
The apprenticeship will also provide individuals with the opportunity to develop their communication and interpersonal skills, as they will be working with a diverse group of people, including children, teachers and parents.
The duration of the Teaching Assistant Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard typically lasts between 12-18 months. This is the standard duration of an apprenticeship as set by the government. However, the exact length of the apprenticeship may vary depending on the specific program and the needs of the employer. Some apprenticeships may take longer than 18 months to complete, while others may be completed in less time.
The Teaching Assistant Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard covers a wide range of topics that are relevant to working as a teaching assistant in a classroom setting. Some of the key topics that may be covered include:
Child development: Understanding the physical, cognitive, social and emotional development of children, and how this impacts their learning.
Classroom management: Learning how to create a positive and safe learning environment, and how to manage the behaviour of children in the classroom.
Curriculum planning: Understanding how to support the teacher in planning and delivering lessons, and how to adapt these lessons to meet the needs of children with different abilities.
Special educational needs: Understanding how to support children with special educational needs, and how to work with other professionals to meet the needs of these children.
Assessment and monitoring: Learning how to monitor the progress of children, how to provide feedback to the teacher, and how to use this information to support the children’s learning.
Communication and interpersonal skills: Developing effective communication and interpersonal skills to work with children, teachers and parents.
Legislation and regulations: Understanding the laws and regulations that govern the education system and how they relate to the role of teaching assistant.

If you don't already hold a Maths or English qualification equivalent to a GCSE pass you may undertake Functional Skills at Level 2. These are optional and as part of the enrolment process you will be given a choice to opt-in or opt-out of undertaking them.
Functional Skills qualifications in Maths and English are equivalent to a GCSE pass (grade 4-9) and are essential for career progression, apprenticeships, and further education.
