Specialist Teaching Assistant (STA) Courses
The 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.
Primary/Secondary STA Courses and Foundation
Degree in Learning Support at the University of Hertfordshire
The University of Hertfordshire runs STA Primary and Secondary courses
and the Foundation Degree in Learning Support which is an opportunity
to obtain a work-based vocational qualification and is equivalent to the
first two years of a current undergraduate degree. Credits can be gained
at Levels 1 and 2 with study divided into modules of 15 or 30 credits.
Modules have taught contact time, private study, school based activity
and assessed work. The Foundation Degree can eventually lead to a teaching
qualification.
The course takes place at the
DeHavilland Campus in Hatfield and details can be obtained from the University:

A module
in the STA Course is linked to the HLTA standards and therefore serves as a good introduction to the HLTA Assessment Preparation course. If a candidate subsequently achieves HLTA status the cost of this module will be reimbursed.
