The traditional role of a Teaching Assistant has become increasingly varied, and today there are many different positions and jobs available in all kinds of educational settings. In our international community, we utilise teaching and learning support with a diverse school workforce and community.

This is why we’ve become an international awarding centre for CACHE qualifications Level 3 and Level 4. With the many roles in our international schools that support student teaching and learning, we are on a mission to ensure that these staff are fully supported in their roles. We take the best of British and thoughtfully weave the international dimension throughout. The UK-recognised CACHE certification is embedded in this International Professional Qualification (iNPQ). Delivered by our experienced team of international school specialists, these programmes are purposefully designed to accurately reflect the needs of those who support teaching and learning in schools like yours and ours.
