Apprentice Teaching Assistant Level 3 SEND

Our Level 3 Teaching Assistant Apprenticeships are delivered through monthly cohort sessions hosted on Microsoft Teams for approximately 2 hours per session. The learners will need to be given time away from their daily duties to attend the sessions. These sessions can be recorded as off-the-job training. The timetable for these sessions can be accessed through the learners’ OneFile account, which will be issued upon successful completion of the enrolment process. Following this, learners will engage in virtual one-on-one meetings with their tutors every 4-6 weeks to discuss their learning, assess progress, and establish SMART targets for the upcoming learning period. We ask that the learners’ mentor attend these sessions to contribute to their progress and success. In addition, learners will need to be assigned 3 hours per week for study time, which can also be recorded as off-the-job training time. Learners will need to record 417 hours of off-the-job training time throughout their apprenticeship, please note that this does not mean that the member of staff will be away from their role for this amount of time. The teaching sessions and time given for completing written work can be recorded as off-the-job, along with any new learning experience or activity that takes place naturally during the workday.

Apprentices may be offered a permanent position upon completion of the apprenticeship.
