HLTA Status

Higher level teaching assistants (HLTAs) work with teachers to support teaching, learning and pupil achievement. 

HLTA status provides a recognition that an individual is operating competently against a set of national standards defined by the Training and  Development Agency for Schools (TDA). 

Achieving HLTA status demonstrates to headteachers, teachers, governors and parents that you make a positive contribution to pupils' learning and achievement.  It is not a qualification, nor is it intended to replace existing qualifications.
