About this course

Support our young people to achieve a bright future..

The Certificate IV in School Based Education Support provides participants with the skills to become a teacher's aide or education assistant in a kindergarten, pre-primary, primary or secondary school - including for students with special needs.

You will learn how to support qualified teachers in the classroom, providing supervision and one-to-one student support in English, reading and maths.

At this level, workers may be involved in facilitation of learning for a range of instructional groupings, including for those students in need of additional support. In these roles, the education support worker sources and analyses information from diverse sources, may work with limited direct supervision and could provide guidance to other workers.

Education assistants and Special needs education assistants work in all schools throughout the Kimberley and Pilbara.

As part of this qualification, participants are required to undertake a supervised work placement in order to apply the skills and knowledge learned.
