I am looking for a change in career and have recently undertaken some voluntary work within a school setting that I really enjoyed. I have been researching various courses and was wondering if any of you know the credibility of this course and would it be a benficial qualification to gain?

NCFE Level 3 Accredited Teaching Assistant Course
details can be viewed MyDistance Learning College website (sorry I can't post links as I am a new user)

Thanks in advance! :)

    Doesn't look like a credible distance learning provider.

    Why not do it on night school at a local college? Most do it.

    Thanks- yes that is something I am definitely considering however I just wanted to know if studying online was a suitable reputable option.

    Studying online is a great thing, however for courses such as childcare, TA or teaching it is far better to be more hands on, than have to wait 4 days for a reply to a simple question.

    That's a fair point I have really enjoyed the hands on experience I have gained so far so hopefully I can find a course locally.
