Complete Teaching Assistant Diploma (TA, SEN, EYFS & Child Safeguarding)

The Complete Teaching Assistant Diploma from Lead Academy is an all-in-one program that combines four essential areas of education support into a single course. It covers core teaching assistant competencies, special educational needs (SEN) support strategies, the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, and child safeguarding procedures. The teaching assistant module covers classroom management, lesson planning support, assessment assistance, and communication with students, teachers, and parents. The SEN section teaches you how to identify and support children with a range of learning differences including dyslexia, autism, ADHD, and physical disabilities. The EYFS module focuses on early childhood development and the statutory framework for children aged 0–5, covering play-based learning, observation techniques, and developmental milestones. The child safeguarding section covers recognizing signs of abuse and neglect, reporting procedures, and creating safe learning environments. This course is ideal for homeschool parents who want a professional-level understanding of child development and teaching methodology, as well as aspiring teaching assistants. No prior qualifications are required, and the course is entirely self-paced. You receive a CPD-accredited certificate upon completion.
