Congrats on passing second time round! I am almost done with assignment 1 now... think i just need to send it off with not many expectations and then amend it as to what their comments are! do you have Facebook? it would be nice to be able to talk to someone on there at a similar stage of the course x
Hi Amelia, I've submitted my assignment 1 last week so am just waiting to hear. How did you find it? Happy to chat if you want another FB friend?
hi everyone im just starting assignment 1 and also would love to talk to people on the similar stage of the course add me on facebook too ;-)
I failed the 1st one as my answers were to brief so I would reccomend writing plenty my assignment 2 was just short of 7k words and I passed 1st time, Im just waiting for ass 3 to be marked :) r u online or paper based?? Im paper but considering online as im finding posted assignments take ages to be delivered??
Passed the 1st one second time as I had to break some of it down into sections.Unit 2 i've posted a question concerning word count.I see from yours that your word count count was very high, i'm a bit concerned about my word count.For summarising policies it suggests 300 but I have 1,760,I see from you post that it may not matter,there is so many policies 300 words would just give titles of policies.
Hi david I used alot of words on unit 2 as "the compile a chart" used alot of them.....different age ranges for each section. In fairness unit 2 is the biggest unit out of all of them so far :)
Thanks Kelly just submitted my unit 2 want to make an early start with unit 3. got any of the questions?
I have just started the course. lol getting a bit worried as most comments ive read on most subject is they have failed!? any tips or advice? please. thanks
Don't panic you don't fail it's just a refer you made need to add a bit more info and each question is either a pass or refer don't give up
Hi tammy I started mine In oct ive just passed unit 3, I feel the same, there is alot of work and im trying to get through my portfolio activitys( of which there is alot to do) Im only in a school 1 day a week there just seems alot to do in a little time. Ideally I want to pass by july then I can start a full time job in the new sept term. If u need any help dont hesitate to ask :)
Iv just started can u help x im so confused with what to do for the portfolio bit x
As I gather its collecting the evidence on your placement at school. Im going to really struggle as my teacher is really busy and doesnt get lunch most days, I didnt no where to start lol as there ses more work for the portfolio than the assesments. What u confused with?? Or just all of it?? Lol
Im doing online version and start my placement thursday and i need to tell them what i need to learn but am so confused as the only guidance i have is one sheet talking about practical assessment planning guide which i presume is the portfolio x
No thats just a guide for the last sections of the portfolio, you should have " final examination (portfolio activities)" sheet it has 45 tasks on split in to 11 sections to co-inside with your assignments you cant miss it, its 3 double sided pages long.... I had to chase mine up as they didnt send it at 1st but then now ive got it theres alot to do on it :( im considering swapping to online as I had my assignment 3 marked on the 3rd and still no assignment 4 yet... post is slow......
My stuff arrived for paper based today n im hoping when I read through it again it will make more sense lol

Hi. I am also doing this course. Surprisingly my first assignment was marked within 3 days! But now it has been 4 days since I submitted my second assignment with no feedback. Having seen what others are going through in this course, I think I'm not due to complain yet, lol! But I really struggled with my second assignment, as some of information was not available in the resource book that they sent me. Anyway, can someone please add me on FB group ( group of people who are doing this course)? It will be nice to share with people with same experience and see how we can support each other against this 'course - phobia' Good luck everyone. Reggie Taylor

Hi, I'm just starting the course, I got my stuff through the post yesterday. I'm quite nervous and excited, it's like being back at school again. I have requested to join an fb group, I hope it's the right one.
Hello I too a, just starting the level 3 teaching assistant course could do with bouncing ideas with someone.
Hi everyone. I'm also waiting for someone to add me on FB. But I don't know who is that somebody. It looks like there was strong FB group 4 or more months ago, but now people are may be busy with something else, or they have finished their course.
I was wondering if one of us (who have just started the course), and are eager to have a group on FB, may be we can start another group, and let others join in if they want to. It is just an idea. Though it would be nice to have people with more experience on this course.
Sorry for my suggestion, but I am desperate to be in touch with people who are doing this course. So what do you think Belinda Harris, and Alyson Evans? If you are keen to be administrator my facebook name is Regina Lugome Taylor. Thank you. Rx

Hi there I am on the fb page. It's a great help, people are always willing to help if you need advice or just need a little encouragement. Some of them have finished the course recently but they are great because they are still popping on to help others. Have you sent a fb request to join the group?
Heidi :)

Hiya I have just started this course and I have been reading some of the comments looking for help. Please could you tell me how do I join the FB page.
I would like to join a facebook page if there is one, I am struggling with assignment 1
Hi all, i've just submitted assignment 3 :/ started in September. I am not so sure about this latest unit though as with Christmas in the middle i struggled to get my mind on the questions,so just submitted in the end to get a bit of feedback if nothing else :) good luck all xxx Nikki
Ive just recieved unit 4 and nearly fell through the floor at the amount to do..... are you finding the work load easy? Along with the portfolio activities that need to be done??
No, i am not to be honest Kelly, and i am lucky because i am a housewife so do not work at the moment. Even when my hubby is at work and kids are at school i still find it quite difficult to sit and focus and not think of jobs that need doing. How about you? Oh no, really, Unit 4 is that bad? Nikki

Hi Andrea,
This course (Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools QCF Level 3) has remained with NCFE, and therefore students completing this course will receive an NCFE award rather than ABC.
I hope this information helps. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team directly on 01288 356300.

Hi, I'm on FB too if you want to add me I could do with the support. Are we all on the same course? As far as I can tell there's about 4 different types I'm on the NCFE level 3. I got a bit confused around christmas time as they appeared to change the assignment questions, has anyone else been affected by this? At first they changed the portfolio criteria from professional discussions to Finals and now I have 2 courses appear in my home page one with 2 graded papers and one without and with new questions and all assigments muddled up. Has this happened to anyone else? I enrolled last June but haven't got very far.
Hope to hear from someone
Stacey

R u doing support teaching and learning level 3?? Mine are still professional discussions?? My assignment questions get sent out as I pass an assignment????....
I have just finished the first unit and sent it off. I hope I've done it right, there isn't a lot of guidance with it really. I have done level 2 CYPW in the past and the amount of writing was something else, but I had a tutor to come out and assess me at school and guide me through it.
I'm finding this course quite difficult because I don't have that kind of help. I can't get to my "local" college (14 miles away) to do the course so distance learning was my only option. Plus if I'd have been able to go to college I could have got it paid through the Learning loan :(
Can anyone tell me what exactly the portfolio is is that just for units 5 to 11 or do we have to do the all portfolio questions contained in the text book (red text boxes). Very confused :(

Hi, the portfolii activities is a list of 45 tasks to do in ur placement set out in 11 units to co inside with your assignments :) have u joined the facebook group? Its easyer to ask for help off people on there :) look up NCFE it should come up :)
Thank you. Where do I find the list of the tasks. Am I being thick?
When I recieved all my course work and tex book etc there was a check list of things you should have recieved, my portfolio activities list wasnt there so I rang them up and they sent it out straight away :)
Its 4 pages long and the heading is portfolio activities list :)
Nope not got that had very little to be honest. My first unit question sheet. A letter confirming payment a list of the units and a diary sheet for my placement oh and booklet that really didn't give much information and was more for my supervisor about health and safety etc. nothing telling me what I should have.
Is the group "NCFE level 3 supporting teaching and learning" a great big long list came up on fb.

I didn't have my portfolio activities and contacted them and they said as we don't need them til unit 5 then they would be sent out at a later date as I was starting to do the red box activities too !! I think I joined the fb group can someone add me if I haven't done it properly thanks as I have received my first assignment and finding it really confusing as to what to write, some help would be much appreciated xx
I'm not sure which group it is as there were a few and they were closed groups. I just got an email from SB they told me they don't send portfolio questions out until I reach unit 5 too. I'm relieved that's sorted out.
Level 3 NCFE supporting teaching and learning the header is a ladie and some children in red tops :)
Request sent :)

Hi Everyone! Looks like there's a bit of confusion surrounding the portfolio activities. Please give your tutor a call directly on 01288 356300 so that she can explain everything for you. She'll be happy to walk you through it.
