How is the course delivered and assessed?

Immerse yourself in a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that encourages open dialogue, sharing of ideas, and personal experiences. Our classes, available at our Filton campuses, are delivered face-to-face one afternoon per term. Through a diverse range of learning and teaching activities, including group work, discussions, and presentations, you’ll explore different perspectives on the role of a Higher Level Teaching Assistant.
