STA CoursesThe STA Certificate courses seek to enhance TAs’ knowledge and understanding of how they can most effectively support children and class teachers in delivering literacy and numeracy and how best to support individuals and small groups across the curriculum. The University of Hertfordshire run both primary and secondary STA courses in Hatfield. This involves attendance at the University for one day a week; assessment is by assignments and essays.
