NVQ in Education, level 2 or 3?

Question

I am thinking of becoming a teaching assistant, has anyone compleated the above course or is doing it. Is this ok for me to study or should I choose a different route. I am interested in spacial needs education.

Answer 1

Depends on the age group:

Under 5's I'd go for level 3 and choose a childcare bsaed course such as learning and development rather than education.

School-age then level 3 as it will look better on resume and you can do more with the children. I will be fine for a teaching assistant and is a good start for special educational needs as they may train you on job or send you to specific courses the school require you to be knowledge on.
