Testimonials
People JUST LIKE YOU
“I completed the Teaching Assistant training course in July and started working as a supply teaching assistant in October. I’ve visited many different schools, and every experience has been unique and valuable. The CPD courses and day-to-day work have really helped build my confidence and knowledge. Everyone at Supply Plus is friendly, supportive, and makes you feel truly valued."
"I’m glad to be part of the Supply Plus team.
The TA course that I completed with Supply Plus was informative, well structured and delivered by exceptional trainers. Having had no experience in this setting, the course gave me a better understanding of expectation.
The areas we covered were of great value and I learnt a lot from it."
"I was really quite anxious and nervous attending the first session, but there was absolutely no need to be.
The supply plus team are all extremely friendly and helpful.
I looked forward to attending every session thereafter. "
"Since completing the course I very quickly got offered a role in a local primary school. First day was a little daunting, but I’ve now been with the same class for three days and i am getting into a good routine. You soon get to know the names of all the children!
There is so much variety in this role, still lots to learn but I love it!”
