If you want to develop your knowledge of becoming a Higher Level Teaching Assistant so that you can embark on a rewarding career or you are already working in a related field and want to improve your career prospects, then this is the course for you.
The Distance Learning Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) course study modules are based around the professional standards for HLTA status which set out for teachers, employers and parents the contribution to pupils’ learning that HLTAs are expected to make. The course has been written alongside the 33 TDA standards and will provide you with the underpinning knowledge to progress in this field on gaining the relevant experience for HLTA status.
This course is aimed at candidates wishing to become a Higher Level Teaching Assistant. It will enable you to:
Most teaching assistant and higher level teaching assistant jobs are in nursery, primary and specialist schools. You could also work in secondary or independent schools and academies.
Your day-to-day duties could include:-
With experience, you could become a senior assistant or Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA).
You could also train as a teacher.
You do not need any prior learning knowledge or experience to take this course. It is openly available to anyone who wishes to take part in a highly rewarding home study course, although you would be expected to have a reasonable standard of literacy.
You have the freedom to start the course at any time and continue your studies at your own pace for a period of up to 12 months from initial registration with the full support of your Tutor.
The syllabus consists of six modules which are as follows:
You must successfully complete a series of assessments. Once all assessments and activities have been completed and you have met the required outcomes, you will then be awarded your certificate. The good news is, there is no final exam.
Once you have successfully completed this course, you will receive a Higher Level Teaching Assistant certificate of achievement from Training Qualifications UK (TQUK).
The completion of this course alone does not lead to an Ofqual regulated qualification but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills towards regulated qualifications in the future.
The unit summary can be used as evidence towards your recognition of prior learning if you wish to progress your studies in this sector.
The course itself has been designed by OSC to meet specific learner or employer requirements and Learn Now Distance Learning College are working as a reseller for OSC. The course has been endorsed by TQUK, meaning OSC have undergone external quality checks to ensure that the organisation and the courses they offer meet a high standard. Regular reviews of our courses are carried out as part of the endorsement process.
The course depth and study has been benchmarked at level four against level descriptors published by Ofqual.

Roles could vary; however you would generally support children to access the education offered at school, join in with class activities, help make friends and navigate the day-to-day interactions they have with other children and staff.
You may need to liaise with parents or staff in regards to progress, learning goals, and support strategies.
Other jobs might include overseeing children’s learning and project-based work through a range of assessment and monitoring strategies against learning intentions, providing feedback to pupils.
If you feel those tasks interest you, then you are off to great start but it is also worth bearing in mind the benefits that might come with working in a school depending on the institution:
If you are not already working within a school, you would need to first apply to become a teaching assistant. Please see our teaching assistant level 3 course for further information.
You will then need the support of the school to help you achieve HLTA status. Training will involve covering all 33 TDA standards which are covered within this course.
Finally, you will require a Level 2 or above in English and Maths.
A Higher Level Teaching Assistant will carry out the same role as a Teaching Assistant, however they will also take on additional jobs which is why they will also receive a higher salary.
Additional jobs will include teaching classes on their own without a teacher, covering planned absences and help cover teachers when they need to plan and mark work.
