GUIDANCE ON LITERACY & NUMERACY ISSUES FOR HLTA

The Teacher Training Agency (TTA) have issued a fact sheet which covers the level 2 qualifications in literacy and numeracy required to achieve higher level teaching assistant status i more detail.

Many candidates have been put off applying for HLTA assessment or training as they have seen it as a requirement for O level English and Maths. This factsheet should be useful to show the alternative and easily accessible ways of meeting this requirement.

The factsheet is available for download here (PDF 180KB)


We would be very grateful for any feedback about the HLTA programme:

- are the places oversubscribed or undersubscribed?

- if you want to do it, are you experiencing any difficulties?

- if you do not wish to do it, why not?

- is the requirement for level 2 qualifications in literacy and numeracy putting people off?
