After completing the L2 TA course, I decided to move up to the L3 course. The course material for L3 is far more extensive and the presentation failed to live up to my expectations. It is not well integrated into the software. It appeared to have been simply scanned material and some of the content was too small to read. There were numerous mistakes in the text (poor proofing) and at least one troubling error in the assessment, which I complained about, without any reaction to date. These CPD TA courses are little more than toe-in-the-water exercises but not without value. I am glad I tested myself, after many years out of the academic learning environment. I am not qualified to comment in depth on the veracity of the course material. Remember, to become a TA necessities practical experience alongside a recognised qualification. Going forward, I intend to do more niche CPD courses to fill knowledge gaps, such as phonics. My overall advice is to proceed with realistic expectations.
