Education and Skills Training & Development

Education and Skills Training & Development is a specialist apprenticeship training provider focused on fully funded education and learning apprenticeships for schools and academies. Their core offer includes the Teaching Assistant Level 3 apprenticeship, mapped to the NCFE CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Supporting Teaching & Learning, which is delivered entirely in the workplace with no day-release required. Training is funded through the government apprenticeship levy, enabling employers with eligible levy funds to upskill staff at no additional training cost. The provider uses a blended learning model tailored to each school or academy and supports apprentices through dedicated assessors who deliver monthly workshops, workplace visits and remote learning sessions. Education and Skills Training & Development highlights strong achievement, reporting that 91% of learners have passed with Merit or Distinction. They position apprenticeships as a way to reduce teacher workload, enhance the learning environment and improve pupil attainment, while allowing teaching assistants to gain a nationally recognised qualification and a skill for life. The organisation offers nationwide tutors who specialise in learning for the education sector and provides an apprenticeship prospectus to outline its programmes and approach.
