At ESF Apprenticeships, we’re committed to ensuring that TAs feel supported in their journey. Our Teaching Assistant apprenticeships offer accessible pathways into education, allowing individuals to gain valuable hands-on experience in live classroom settings while developing essential knowledge and skills.
Working in partnership with our sister company, Real Training, we’re proud to offer programmes informed by educational psychology, ensuring that TAs are equipped with strategies grounded in research and best practice.
We offer progression routes for TAs to upskill through specialist training in areas such as SEND, Social and Emotional Wellbeing, Literacy, Language, and PE, health, and wellbeing. This ensures that TAs are able to make an even greater impact, to support the holistic development of the young people they support.
