This foundation degree prepares students to support teaching and learning in primary-age classrooms. Learners study current policy, research evidence and classroom practice across childhood education, which informs how they assist teachers.
Sessions run one day a week on Monday afternoons into the evening, at the Adult and Higher Education campus in Winchester or at Queen's Park Academy in Bournemouth. Students also cover understanding and managing behaviour. Applicants must be employed, attend an interview and complete a DBS check before starting.
Students can top up to a full honours degree at the college after completing the foundation degree. This suits people who want a longer-term route into teaching support careers.
