FTTA offers 2 government funded teacher aide courses for people living in the greater Townsville area in North QLD. Which course you choose is completely up to you, however, some courses may suit certain people more, depending on their goals and aspirations – the choice is completely up to you. The CHC30213 Certificate III in Education Support is the basic introductory course which will enable you to work effectively as a teacher aide in a mainstream Townsville schools such as those listed below just to name a few:
On the other hand, the CHC40213 Certificate IV in Education Support will equip you with the professional skills required to effectively support teachers and students and in particular special needs schools such as Townsville Community Learning Centre. However, the best part of holding the higher level teacher aide course is that you can work in any school – as you have the highest qualification available for teacher aides, you are eligible for all support positions and will have a better chance of being employed than those who hold the lower level CHC30213 Certificate III in Education Support.
Finally, we offer the teacher aide combo, however as this course is not funded in Queensland, it is not as popular as it is in other states. This course combines both the CHC30213 Certificate III in Education Support and the CHC40213 Certificate IV in Education Support and is popular in QLD for students who are not eligible for government funding such as people on certain visas and those who have completed higher level courses such as a child care diploma.
This could be you very soon? Picture of an FTTA student on placement ready to finish her final assessment before embarking on a new and exciting career – well done!
