You can either make arrangements to attend a course yourself, or we can arrange for you to attend one of our in-house courses. If you are offered a contracted role and choose to qualify with us, we will fund 100% of the STA Level 2 Award course subject to you signing a training agreement.

STA Qualified Candidates:

Please note that the STA have two qualifications – the Level 2 Award and the Level 2 Certificate. Although the STA refer to them both as Level 2, the Certificate is a higher qualification. In order to differentiate the two qualifications, we refer to teachers who are Award qualified as Level 1 and will be paid at Level 1 rate, and teachers that are Certificate qualified as Level 2 and will be paid at Level 2 rate.
