The Teaching Assistant College is a brand new training provider delivering CACHE Teaching Assistant Programmes on the Internet through online learning (e-learning).

As a previous tutor in a regular college I have seen the difficulties that students often have trying to juggle so much with their everyday lives, from working as a teaching assistant to taking care of their own children, from taking care of the house to attending any other employment commitments, that fitting in college lectures was sometimes difficult.

I created The Teaching Assistant College to help overcome the difficulties that attending college can bring by bringing the learning to you. Because all of the training is delivered on the Internet it gives you the opportunity to study whenever it is most convenient to you, be it in your lunchtime in the school library or classroom, at home in the evenings, at weekends or any other time or place you have access to the Internet.

When designing the programmes to be delivered online we were particularly careful to ensure that your studies were as varied and interesting as possible using a variety of teaching methods, we have incorporated lecture delivery with video clips so you can see other Teaching Assistants working with pupils, a forum to discuss issues with other students, a bulletin board to keep you updated with current issues and, of course, much, much more.

I am confident that you will enjoy our study sessions as much as we have enjoyed creating them. I look forward to receiving your application pack.
