Receiving the outcome of HLTA assessment and next steps

Following your higher level teaching assistant (HLTA) moderation, you will receive an award letter via your regional provider of assessment (RPA) informing you of your result. This should be within eight weeks of your school visit.

The outcome

  • Standards met: all the standards have been met and you have achieved HLTA status.
  • Partial reassessment: some standards (up to a maximum of three) have not been fully met. This implies that you were judged to have met all but a small number of standards, and the weaknesses in relation to these standards were modest in nature. Your RPA will advise you on the most appropriate next steps.
  • Standards not met: there is insufficient evidence that all the standards have been met and you will therefore not be recommended for HLTA status. Potentially this could relate to just one standard if the evidence provided suggests the need to undertake further training or development.

Next steps

If you don't attain HLTA status you will receive written feedback on your assessment outcome within a week of receiving your result notification letter.

When deciding what to do next in terms of your continuing professional development (CPD), you should discuss your options with your mentor and/or line manager.
