NCFE Cache Level 2 Award in Support Work in Schools & Colleges

Course Overview

This course is an introduction to the knowledge needed to work in a school or college. It links to varied support staff roles including Teaching Assistants, administration & site support roles.

The sessions are run by experienced tutors. Your knowledge is assessed by regular assignments.

This course has some common content (approximately 50%) with the Level 2 Certificate in Supporting Teaching & Learning in Schools qualification which is a vocational qualification - developing both knowledge and skills.

Understand Communication & Pofessional Relationships
