There are a number of qualifications to suit the needs of support staff. If you find the support work in schools qualifications do not suit your needs, you might be interested in the training and development opportunities available to
higher level teaching assistants and bursars.
The
National database of accredited qualifications also contains useful information about qualifications available to school support staff. Alternatively, national vocational qualifications for teaching assistants available at levels 2 and 3 may provide a suitable development opportunity involving assessment of your skills and knowledge against nationally agreed competencies.
