Farnborough College of Technology offers the above qualification for teaching assistants/learning support assistants.

The education sector increasingly requires staff who can appreciate the implications of the many far-reaching developments currently taking place. The BA (Hons) in Education (Learning Support) meets this need for practitioners fulfilling a number of different roles within the sector. The main award of the BA (Hons) in Education builds on the appropriate supporting Foundation Degrees, providing a progression route to degree level. As such, it develops and extends the knowledge base acquired through previous study and professional development and continues to integrate a work-based model in which students are required to reflect upon daily occurrences in the work place and use their experiences to inform and evaluate their own practice. The programme is offered as a full-time honours degree programme and is modular in structure focusing on a number of essential themes in contemporary education and training. "Please keep your students coming. They are of the highest quality. "  - Bill James, Executive Principal at St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School who often recruits our former students
