Assessment for HLTA Status

 

The assessment happens after the following have occurred:

  • a discussion with the headteacher or line manager ensuring that the candidate feels confident all standards are able to be demonstrated, for example through the use of a self-review

OR

  • completion of an HLTA training route as a pathway to HLTA assessment

AND

  • the candidate has Level 2 or equivalent qualifications for English/Literacy and Mathematics/Numeracy. Original certificates must be brought to Day 1 of Preparation.
  • funding is secured, either from the Local Authority or funding body
  • attendance on 3 days (or equivalent) of Preparation for Assessment (can be incorporated into a training programme).

  • See the Preparation section.

 

The Assessment Process

The assessment consists of compiling a portfolio of written task-related evidence matched to the HLTA Standards followed by a half-day visit from an assessor.
