What is a Teacher’s Aide?

A teacher’s aide is an employee who works in schools and provides support to students, teachers, and parents. They may also provide support for students with special needs or disabilities. The role of teacher aides is to work side by side with the classroom teacher to help develop and obtain learning resources, assist in setting up equipment, supervise students, and participate in learning activities under instruction from a teacher. As a teacher aide, you will also collaborate with the teacher to provide a safe, clean, and welcoming classroom for the students that ensures the student’s physical, social, cultural, physical, and emotional well-being. To be qualified to work as a teacher aide, you will need to undertake the CHC30221 Certificate III in school based education support or the CHC40221 Certificate IV in school based education support.

What is a Student Support Officer?

As a student support officer, some of the tasks and duties you will undertake include support to students and their families, liaising with the wider community, intervening in behaviour and wellbeing issues when you have identified them, visiting family homes to motivate student attendance, promoting education to improve student outcomes and to work in a team as a contact for students, families, or the community for any concerns. The certification required to work in student support is a CHC30221 certificate 3 in school-based education and support or a CHC40221 certificate iv in school based education support.

What is a Learning Support Officer?

The learning support officer role exists in both high schools and primary schools. Responsibilities of the learning support officer include helping with identifying students who have learning needs and spotting students who are gifted or advanced in their learning for their age. Learning support officers make changes to the curriculum depending on the needs of the students, promoting the inclusion of all students, supporting students with special needs and ensuring their safety, and gathering information in conjunction with primary schools regarding pre-identified learning requirements. The course needed to be eligible for this job can be a CHC30221 certificate 3 in school-based education and support or the CHC40221 certificate iv in school based education and support.

Studying at your own pace is easy with ACTAC. You can study our School Based Education Support course anywhere, with our experienced trainers’ full support.

You can study from anywhere and at your own pace. If you want to learn full time, part-time or even just on the weekends, that’s entirely up to you. With ACTAC, we make it easy for students to fit their education around their busy lives. We offer a 10 day assessment marking turnarounds to enable students to set their own pace of study.

Studying online is perfect if you are a new student and have never studied before or if you are returning to study after a long break. We will give you all the support and mentoring you need so that by the end of your course, you will be able to complete assignments independently and learn new skills along the way!

School Based Education Support is a popular choice as a career for people who are passionate about working with children and want to see them succeed in every aspect of their lives.

If you’re ready to begin your journey in school based education support, it’s essential to know what the job entails. A career in this industry requires several skills that can be developed over time. You need to be able to work as part of a team and have an independent streak – an ability to work alone when required. This will be especially important when dealing with children who may have special needs or require additional attention and assistance beyond their peers. You’ll also need good communication skills to effectively convey information regarding classroom activities and expectations without being misunderstood by students or parents alike!

The Certificate IV in School Based Education Support (CHC40221) builds on the skills you know.

The Certificate IV in School Based Education Support (CHC40221) builds on the skills you learnt in your Certificate III, taking your skillset and application even further. It also sets you apart from others going for the same position, as by completing the certificate iv in school based education support.

As an education support worker, you’ll be working directly with children of all ages in primary and secondary schools. You will likely work with special needs students with autism spectrum disorder or intellectual impairment. You may also assist teachers by providing communication services for deaf or hard of hearing students and English language learners.

Studying online means that you don’t have to worry about juggling life’s other commitments while learning – you can develop your skills whenever you have time, day or night.

Online learning allows students to study on personalised schedules to continue working while they learn new skills. This freedom is one of the most significant benefits of studying online! Studying online also allows you to learn at your own pace, so if you work a full-time job and have children at home (or both), it may be challenging to find time during the week to travel for education.
You will get everything you need to complete your studies online:

• Access via mobile, tablet, or desktop computer.
• Easy access through any browser with an internet connection.
• Detailed videos explain concepts in simple terms with examples from real-life situations happening right now in Australia every day (including workplace scenarios).
• Relevant and engaging course material
• Experienced trainers who have attained at least a bachelor’s degree level of education and have worked in education for numerous years

Online learning just makes perfect sense with how busy our lives are with family and work commitments!

Our courses use a blended learning approach.

ACTAC’s courses use a blended learning approach – this means that you will get everything you need to complete your studies online without missing out on any of the practical experience!

We know that students learn best from other people, so we also provide personal mentorship from an industry expert who will help guide and support you through your course.

Blended learning gives you the best of both worlds: an opportunity to gain valuable industry knowledge through rigorous study supported by first-class course material, plus real-world learning opportunities with a mentor who can answer any questions that arise during your studies.
