Becoming a higher level teaching assistant

The Teacher Training Agency (TTA) has developed and published standards for higher-level teaching assistants, linking to standards for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). All the latest information on the HLTA initiative, including details about the standards, the training and assessment programme and funding for training, can be found on the HTLA site.
