Teaching Assistant Review

Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship - Providing learning support for children and supporting the class teacher with day-to-day jobs.

I have built my communication skills during my apprenticeship which allows me to communicate with colleagues to best support the children.

I enjoy my programme as this is something that I have always wanted to do and the support I receive from Inspire is beyond helpful as they will always go the extra mile to provide any support you may need.

My programme is very organised as all of my work is organised into one portfolio which divides each topic I complete into a separate folder, ensuring that nothing is lost.

I have a tutor who I know I can go to with any concerns I may have. I also have a line manager who I can also turn to whenever I may need and I know that she will support me.

As the workload can sometimes be confusing and stressful, our training providers understand this and provide support with the work as well as our wellbeing.

I have a better understanding of how to support correctly in my role through the support I receive as they will always be there to help with any questions I may have about my role in order for me to do my job to the best of my ability.

My workplace organises work socials at the end of each term to give their staff the chance to unwind and get to know each other outside the workplace. It is a nice opportunity to share your thoughts and get support from colleagues.

It’s a great way to begin your time in the workplace and gaining practical experience whilst gaining a qualification is in my opinion the best way to achieve your goals.

Make sure that it is something that you definitely want as no part of it is easy, but it is very rewarding and you will learn so much from hard work.
