Hi everyone. I'm a new kid on the block and I've just posted this in the newbie section by mistake! Have just moved to Salisbury after working for a couple of years in the Hampshire school library service. Am keen to try and get a PT TA job while my kids are at primary school. Am going to offer to do some voluntary work at a local school and while my kids settle do a basic TA course. Salisbury College doesn't appear to offer any TA courses nor do any other colleges within a 30 mile radius so I wondered about doing a distance learning course??

Can anyone recommend a distance learning course?The UK Distance Learning College do the ABC Level 2 Certificate for Teaching Assistants which includes a 60 hour (min) school placement under the guidance of a qualified teacher and costs £295. The other distance learning courses are either a lot more expensive or don't include any school placement.

Many thanks
Kelsey
