This came up on offer for £99 for the 1 yr online course. Supposedly for a Level 4 Higher Level Teaching Assistant certificate at the end. Surely there must be a catch?!
I've been thinking about retraining...but from what I gather the usual route is via CACHE, level 2 part time lasting one year, or two years full time for Level 3 - even the Level 2 course requires work placements of a min of 4hrs a week just to get on the course!
Whereas this is apparently Level 4 in a year, no work placements, no written exam at the end - assessment is through tutor marked assignments. I would be tempted, but it just seems too, too easy...
Anyone with experience, who can tell me what the catch might be? Thank you.
