Specialist Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship (STAA) at Northumbria University

Entry requirements

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Prior to starting the apprenticeship Northumbria University will conduct an assessment of prior learning and experience for each apprentice, this information will be documented in the Individualised Learning Record (ILR). The prior learning and experience of each applicant is mapped against the programme learning outcomes and apprenticeship standards in compliance with DfE policy on initial skills assessment. The University ‘Recognition of Prior Learning’ policy is applied where there is clear evidence outcomes have already been met. The DfE Apprenticeships: initial assessment to recognise prior learning policy is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeships-recognition-of-prior-learning/apprenticeships-initial-assessment-to-recognise-prior-learning.
