What You’ll Learn
Overview
Over 56% of pupils with an EHC plan in England are now taught in mainstream schools. That means general classroom TAs increasingly need SEN, autism, ADHD, and dyslexia training just to do their job. Our CPD-accredited Complete Teaching Assistant Diploma Level 3 (TA, SEN, Autism, ADHD & Dyslexia) course is aligned with UK education standards and gives aspiring and current TAs the inclusive education knowledge to confidently support every pupil.
This diploma covers child development, safeguarding, behaviour support, communication strategies, and SEN legislation with dedicated units in autism awareness, ADHD understanding, and dyslexia support. Without this foundation, TAs are left navigating complex classroom challenges on instinct alone misreading ADHD behaviour, missing autism indicators, or overlooking dyslexia. Structured training removes that guesswork entirely.
Our CPD-certified Teaching Assistant course is aligned with the Teachers’ Standards framework set by the Department for Education, the SEND Code of Practice 2015, and Ofsted’s expectations for inclusive UK classroom practice. It reflects the professional development standards recognised across UK schools, giving your qualification genuine credibility with every employer you approach. So, enrol in the Complete Teaching Assistant Diploma Level 3 today and become the trained, confident TA that mainstream schools now need.
