Skills 4 Schools

Are there any entry requirements?

There are very few courses relevant to school staff which have rigorous entry requirements (eg, GCSE passes in particular subjects at particular levels).

And no-one should be put off even where courses do explicitly include specific entry requirements: most providers tend to be flexible, especially when learners have experience working in the field they want to study.

The main exceptions to this rule are:

HLTA Status: you'll need to have GCSEs in English and maths at grade A-C or equivalent (eg, Adult Literacy and Numeracy at Level 2) or get them while working towards the status
teaching: you'll need to have GCSEs in English and maths at grade A-C (and in science if you were born after 1 September 1979) before starting your course.

A large number of school support staff develop in the job and are encouraged to work towards a level 2 qualification like an NVQ. For more see the 'Roles' area of the Skills4Schools site.

All staff applying for work in schools will be CRB checked as a condition of employment.
