ATC is a newly accredited institution authorised to deliver training programmes leading to qualifications in accordance with the Act on Educational Staff. The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport has granted our centre for the further education of teaching staff the accreditation required to deliver qualification programmes.
ATC is already preparing its first training programme: the pedagogy course for teaching assistants, which we have developed, has been granted the necessary accreditation! Participants in the planned 120-hour training programme for teaching assistants will undertake a comprehensive course in accordance with statutory standards; they will also be introduced to the Method of Instrumental Awareness and the ways in which it can be applied in the practice of this profession, and upon completion of the course, they will obtain the qualification of teaching assistant in accordance with the Act.
With the accreditation of ATC as an educational institution and of the teacher’s assistant training programme, our organisation has taken a major step towards becoming a leading provider of education, responding to the current needs of educational practice and supporting the professional and personal development of teachers and other educational staff: all with a view to ensuring that, within schools, they are able to effectively impart the key competences defined by the framework educational programmes for primary and pre-school education, whilst at the same time promoting inclusion and reducing inequalities in access to education through high-quality teaching practice.
