I know there have been loads of posts on this before
Now that my youngest DC is in school full time I have thought about becoming a TA.
Last June when I first looked into it, the course I wanted to do at my local college required that you had a placement in a school for 6 months before able able to start the course, so I duly sent out my CV (as I wanted it separate from my DC school really) and was really pleased to get a placement in a reception class and started in September.
However I have contacted the college and now the criteria has changed and you now need to be employed by a school for 10 hours a week.This is not possible as I am a LP so need to be working full time.
So now I am thinking of doing an online course (NCFE). But I have read (looking at other threads on here) that they are worthless.
Is that because they don't need you to have a placement??
I am going to keep my placement until July, so will that make a difference?
Or are there any other online courses that are better?
