[senit] Skills Checklist & Staff Audit

Hi
Has anyone used the Pearson Teaching Assistant training?  I had a letter last week about it stating it was government funded, which it is, on investigation, to a certain extent.  School still needs to pay £200 per person.  Just wondered if anyone had used it and could give feedback, offlist if that's appropriate.  We have to have 12 people on the training, 20 x 2.5hrs so they cover a lot! And it's accredited.   But it does mean it adds up cost wise, unless I offer it out to local schools
