Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Start Fresh In Education

No school experience needed, and no formal requirements to get in. You learn what teacher aides do each day and the skills that help students most. A first step into the work, without years of study.

Upskill For Your Current Role

Already helping out in a classroom? Work through supporting students with additional needs, numeracy help and behaviour support at your own pace. Small things you can use in the room next week.

Study Around Your Life

Your own pace, no deadlines, and lifetime access. Retake assessments as many times as you need, with marking back within one business day. It fits around work and family, not the other way round.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Education support work is wanted right across Australia and New Zealand, in primary and secondary schools. The work is easy to picture: sitting beside a student who is stuck, setting up a small group table, and helping the teacher keep the day on track.

Teachers Aide

Helping students one to one and in small groups, exactly the work this course walks you through.

Education Support Officer

Support work across a school, where reading behaviour and helping with numeracy get used all day.

School Officer

General school support, from getting learning areas ready to keeping things running for staff and students.

Education Support Worker

Working alongside teachers and students who need extra help, in class and in small groups.

Home Tutor

One-on-one help with a student's learning, using the same patient, plain approach you build here.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Special education, integration and multicultural aide roles usually ask for further training on top.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

None needed. There are no formal requirements, and the course is built for people with little or no experience in education.

How long does the course take?

Around 60 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline. You can come back to the material after you finish.

What does it cost each week?

The weekly plan is $15 per week, interest-free with no credit check. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay-in-four with Afterpay and upfront.

How are assessments done?

Short-answer and multiple-choice, built to help you understand rather than test you against the clock. You can retake them as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.

Will this get me a teacher aide job?

It is the cheap, quick way to find out if the work is for you before you spend more. This is a short sampler of selected modules, so schools may ask for the fuller training as well. What you keep is a clear picture of the job, skills you can use around students, and a credential to show for it.

Is this course accredited?

It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and this course is here to help you decide before you take that step.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
