Course Overview

Becoming a teachers aide can be the most rewarding career choice someone can make. Typically, an aide will help children in the classroom to reach their full potential and overcome challenges with their studies. A teachers aide role will often be to help a teacher in a classroom assist with extra support and encouragement throughout the school year.

Lending a helping hand in watching your students flourish throughout the school year makes it all worthwhile. Working with children does offer a level of excitement as no two days are the same which keeps your role interesting. Some days you might be decorating the classroom, while other days you be helping students with their reading.

Teacher aide work is very flexible many only work during school hours and get the school holidays off too! This is a great career choice for parents who can only work during school hours while maintaining a family/lifestyle balance.

This course will teach you how to be supportive, work with students and colleagues, contribute and deliver lessons and cater to students of all learning types. As a teaching assistant role, you may be able to go and pursue a full-time teaching role with further training.
