Love to Teach

The New Year is just around the corner and if you are thinking about the future, returning to work or changing career our Teaching Assistant Course could be just what you are looking for!

If working with children is your dream job this course will give you the skills and qualification you need. The course starts in January and we are enrolling from Wednesday 2nd January 2013 at our Willesden Campus.

The role of a Teaching Assistant (TA) is to help the teacher in the classroom support individuals or groups of children. It’s a varied role and requires knowledge and skills to understand how children learn and develop. If you are considering working with children or currently have experience of raising a family, volunteering at a school or playgroup, this course can lead to a qualification employers look for and value in people who are looking for work in the primary school sector.

There is no experience required to join the course but you will need to have a good standard of English and Maths. If you are unsure about your current levels, drop in and take an assessment at our Willesden Campus. If you have been away from education for some time and want to return to learning but feel unsure our Course Advisor will be happy to listen and guide you.

If you are interested and want to find out more, please post your query and we will get back to you.

Because we care...

For National Dementia Awareness Week, public figures from Gok Wan to the Prime Minister joined forces to highlight the annual awareness campaign. The campaign advocates how there's more to a person than the simply having dementia, and is designed by the Alzheimer’s Society to increase general understanding.

Since demand for people working in Dementia and other Health Care professions is rising, the College of North West London (CNWL) is delighted to announce we are expanding our Health & Social Care courses in order to meet the demands of this industry now and in the future.

If you are interested in pursuing a career in Health and Social Care, now is the time to join and give yourself every opportunity to join a profession in demand! The new courses include:

Dementia Care Certificate Level 2

This is a specialist qualification for adults, which is designed to provide a greater understanding of dementia, and how to provide positive and practical care for people with dementia and their families. You will need some experience of working in a health and social care setting and have at least, a Level 1 qualification. If you are currently a Health Care Assistant, or you are supporting people in their homes, this qualification will help you to improve your skills in caring for the elderly.

Health & Social Care – Entry 3

This course is ideal for adults and young learners (16-18 yrs old) and requires no experience to join! You will have the opportunity to gain a nationally recognised Health & Social Care qualification, whilst improving your English speaking, reading and writing skills. The course will cover Health & Social Care units, such as health and nutrition, play and learning for children and child development as well as giving you the skills for personal career development. You will also study numeracy and IT. This is a great stepping stone to take you to the next level of study, and will enable you to build up your confidence and improve your employability skills.
