I never thought that Math would ever be something that belongs to me. After my 1st introductory session with
John Turner, I've started liking maths. John built my confidence with maths. He is the 1st person who discovered for me that I can go ahead with maths. Thank you to John.

Level 5 Specialist Teaching Assistant Course
I find my Level 5 Specialist Teaching Assistant course to be incredibly valuable in supporting my professional development. One of the key strengths of the course is how effectively it links educational theory to my day-to-day practice in the classroom. The content has enabled me to better understand the reasoning behind the strategies I use, allowing me to apply them more confidently and with greater impact on pupils’ learning and development.
The course is well-structured and offers a wide range of varied and engaging content. Each module is highly relevant to the realities of working in a modern primary school. This relevance has made it easy to immediately apply what I have learned within my role, enhancing both my effectiveness and confidence.
A particularly important aspect of the course is its strong emphasis on reflective practice. It encourages me to critically evaluate my work and recognise areas for development. This has supported me in developing into a more skilled, thoughtful, and proactive practitioner.
I would also like to highlight the support provided by my skills mentor, Caroline Hoffman. Caroline is highly knowledgeable, approachable, and consistently supportive. She is always available to offer guidance and reassurance when needed, and her expertise continues to be invaluable to me.
I would recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their skills or pursue a route into teaching.

Level 5 Specialist Teaching Assistant Course
I am currently studying for a level 5 Specialist Teaching Assistant course and I am 4 modules into the 16 module course which finishes in July 2027. I was put on this course by my employers. It is quite intense as there is a lot of reading involved and tasks at the end of every module to complete. I am enjoying the course and learning new things with every module and building up my knowledge. I do this course alongside my HLTA role which I took on in September 2025 and managing my family so balancing it all can be difficult at times but I get through it with determination and the fact that I like a challenge. I have built up loads of off the job hours by doing tasks such as interventions and teaching a class for example which all count towards OTJ hours. There was a lot of information to take in at the beginning when I started the course but my Skills Coach Michelle has been so helpful every step of the way. She is always there for support, to provide advice, to check over my work and provide feedback. Michelle is always providing support when the course feels overwhelming at times and even when I ask silly questions. I think having a Skills Coach support you every step of the way makes things that much easier, I don't feel like I am doing it all alone and have someone to talk to if I need. I can't comment on the value for money as I am not paying for the course, it is longer than I initially thought but I'm sure I will get through it all.

Dear Kay
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.
It’s fantastic to hear that you are enjoying your Level 5 Specialist Teaching Assistant course and finding each module valuable in building your knowledge and professional skills. Balancing a demanding course alongside your HLTA role, family responsibilities, and workplace commitments is a huge achievement in itself, and your determination and positive attitude really shine through.
We’re especially pleased to hear how supportive Michelle has been throughout your journey. Having a Skills Coach who is approachable, encouraging, and always available to offer guidance and reassurance can make such a positive difference, particularly during the more challenging or overwhelming moments of the course.
It’s also wonderful to hear how you are already applying your learning through activities such as interventions and class teaching, helping you gain meaningful experience alongside your studies.
Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. You should be incredibly proud of the commitment and resilience you are showing throughout your apprenticeship journey, and we wish you every success as you continue towards completing your qualification in 2027.
Amazing
I can’t fault be ready from signing up with Sarah to finishing with Tracy I have had the best experience an apprentice could ask for. They’ve helped and supported so much along the way, they’ve listened to me when Iv been ready to leave the course and been encouraging when they know I can do more, I have loved every aspect of the course and working with be ready. As someone that as done a few different apprenticeships over the years this is the best company to work with. The support and attentiveness they have given me help to achieve a DISTINCTION. What a fantastic company ❤️

I'd like to give huge thanks to Rachael…
I'd like to give huge thanks to Rachael Marsden, my skills coach and Michele Jenvey as my EPA coach for all their amazing support, skill and experience. I have recently completed my SEND T A level 3 apprenticeship course and End Point Assessment and I was thrilled to receive a Distinction! The focused preparations drawing it all together in the final stages and calm confident way in which Michele prepared me for EPA really brought the whole course together. Rachael fully supported me through the end modules as if she'd been with me from the start. Both Rachael and Michele have a fantastic way of drawing out all the right answers and objectives without it seeming like it was hard work. I'd also like to thank my Mentor, Jane Blumer and my Colleagues at school for all their tireless encouragement through out. The watershed moment in the course was when I realised that I'd made it through the preparation for the professional discussion and had completed my last observation at school and I was ready to talk about all my new learning and how was I going to fit in all my answers and ideas!! Contrasting this moment to the start of the course, I have grown in confidence, knowledge and started the patient process of developing my skills in my setting at a mainstream secondary school. My Assessor Lisa Lamb from Steadfast was professional and calm and that really set me at ease, I was able to overcome my initial nerves and showcase my efforts and work.
All in all this course was thorough, involved and it lifted me out off my comfort zones and let me achieve a fantastic amount of knowledge, skills and behaviours which otherwise I wouldn't have ever attempted or thought about finally it enabled me to meet so many new people on the way. Thank you!

Your comments about growing in confidence, knowledge, and skills are especially powerful. Apprenticeship journeys can be challenging at times, particularly when stepping outside of your comfort zone, so hearing how far you have come from the beginning of the course to successfully completing your EPA with distinction is fantastic.

A Fantastic Experience with Be Ready
I have recently completed my TA qualification and achieved a distinction, and I honestly could not have done it without the incredible support from the team at Be Ready.
A huge thank you to Jenny, who supported me throughout the entire course. She was always encouraging, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her guidance and reassurance helped me build confidence every step of the way, and she genuinely cared about helping me succeed.
I would also like to thank Tracy, my EPA coach, who supported me in preparing for my End Point Assessment. Tracy’s advice, preparation strategies, and encouragement made such a difference and helped me feel calm and confident going into the assessment process.
Both Jenny and Tracy went above and beyond with their support, and I am so grateful for everything they did to help me achieve this qualification. I would highly recommend Be Ready to anyone considering their TA training journey

Each module is well explained by Mark Sussex my skill Coach who has always done an amazing job guiding me through out the entire course and has provided me with fantastic insight and bullet points that I can apply directly to my modules.
This is my first time ever taking such course for my development and I cannot emphasizes enough how my Skill Coach Mark has made my experience stand out with his support, by always being approachable, provides clear guidance, and has a way of making complex parts of the course feel manageable. The way he always encourages me has definitely made me feel like I can succeed in this course. Looking forward to carry on my journey with him and complete my qualification.
