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:
