Staff training and development for Schools
We work in partnership with schools and educational settings of all shapes and sizes who take staff training and development as seriously as we do. Our aim is to ensure that you receive training and development support that you require.
Higher Level Teaching Award L4 status (HLTA)
We are offering a limited amount of fully funded places for experienced Teaching Assistants / Learning Support Assistants to complete their Higher Level Teaching Award L4 status (HLTA). All candidates will receive rigorous high quality external assessment and be nationally moderated against the 33 HLTA standards. This is a fantastic opportunity to be formally recognised for higher level working with an accredited and nationally recognised award. Don’t delay in securing your place with this limited offer of full course funding from Essex County Council.
Our Apprenticeship Programmes
Apprenticeships are a way of developing a school’s workforce by providing training opportunities for both existing and new staff members.
If you can’t see an apprenticeship that you’re interested in from our offer, please contact us and we’ll help you to find a training provider who can help.
Tutor-Led Courses
Our extensive range of tutor-led courses run from our ACL centres. You can find us in Basildon, Brentwood, Chelmsford, Clacton, Colchester, Harlow, Maldon, Witham, and online.
Classes are available daytimes, evenings and weekends. Start dates vary according to programme type. Prices depend on the prior attainment of the learner.

Maths, English, Science & Digital
Most maths and English courses are fully funded so there would be no charge to the school or the learner.
Our assessment team would agree the best starting point for the individual and provide the necessary support needed to achieve either a Functional Skill or GCSE Qualification.
Having staff who are confident in their maths, English and digital abilities supports not only their own career progression but also the quality of support that they provide to their pupils.
We also offer GCSE Biology and Physics qualifications that are suitable for those seeking a career as a Primary School Teacher and requiring a GCSE in Science.
Parent Ambassador training and volunteering programme
Our Parent Ambassador programme is designed to develop and enhance a school’s engagement with the local community.
This in turn benefits the school by developing communication links, building trust and also to encourage parents to engage and take advantage of volunteering opportunities within the school. Whether that be through reading with children, sharing a talent such as cooking, crafting, maths or English skills, helping with fundraising events or even enabling the school to make beneficial connections with local businesses.
This program has successfully helped schools to positively engage with the local community whilst raising awareness of support as well as valuable information and guidance that’s available for parents to develop their own skills.
