Course Objective

The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Award in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools is a knowledge-based qualification which supports transition, pre-service or early career learning for all support staff roles in schools.

The Award might be particularly suitable for:

• those looking for an introductory qualification as a preparation for working in schools
• those who already hold a Level 3 qualification, or above, in their specialist area for example administration or catering, but are looking to move into a similar role in a school recently appointed support staff who are new to working in schools.

This qualification has been developed to give learners the opportunity to:

• engage in learning that is relevant to them and which will provide opportunities to develop a range of skills and techniques, personal skills and attributes essential for successful performance in working life
• achieve a nationally recognised, Level 3 vocationally-related qualification
• progress to employment in a particular vocational sector
• progress to related general and/or vocational qualifications.
