Level 3 Teaching Assistant Online Course

The Level 3 Teaching Assistant course with a focus on Learning Disabilities is designed to equip aspiring or experienced teaching assistants with advanced strategies, knowledge, and tools to support students with special educational needs (SEN) in diverse educational settings.
