Identifying training needs to meet the HLTA standards

During the assessment process, you need to provide evidence that you meet each of the standards for higher level teaching assistant (HLTA) status. In order to establish whether you need to extend your skills or experience to demonstrate the HLTA standards you will need to complete a training needs analysis.

The training needs analysis

The training needs analysis process linked to the HLTA standards will be carried out by your school, local authority or regional provider of assessment.

The outcomes of your training needs analysis will provide the focus for any training and development activities; identifying where you need to extend your skills and experience in order to demonstrate the HLTA standards.

Working towards meeting the standards can then be achieved through development activities at your school or through training provided by your local authority or independent training providers.

Your regional provider of assessment or local authority will be able to provide details of local training provision.
