We’re very lucky to have several experienced professional educators on staff, across a number of disciplines and specialisms, so it’s no surprise that we’ve developed qualifications in support of classroom teachers and teaching assistants in this essential and constantly evolving area.

We have qualifications available for most support operations, including a Level 4 (RQF) Certificate for Higher Level Teaching Assistants and Level 3 Awards in both literacy and numeracy.

We’ve developed more than 200 qualifications across 11 sectors, with 10 in Direct Learning Support alone.

The list below represents the current range of qualifications offered within this key educational specialism. We always have capacity for more; see the note at the end of the list if you feel we’ve missed something…
