The apprenticeship, told by the people living it.
A running series of short-form videos from real placements — day-in-the-life clips, mentor Q&As and honest apprentice stories. Tap any tile to watch with sound.
Two organisations. One apprenticeship. Zero gaps.
Your placement & support
Excell Supply gets you into a real school — and keeps you backed the whole way through.
We match you to a working placement in a local school that fits your apprenticeship route.
A dedicated Excell consultant checks in with you and the school — you’re never left to work it out alone.
You’re paid for the hours you work, from your very first week in the classroom.
Your qualification
Shrewsbury College delivers the training behind the job.
Structured coursework and tutor support alongside your placement, not instead of it.
A nationally recognised Teaching Assistant / Early Educator qualification at the end of it.
No debt. No guessing if the job’s for you. Just a wage and a way in.
A wage from day one
You’re paid for the hours you work in placement, not just once you qualify.
No student debt
Your apprenticeship is funded — you train on the job instead of paying for a course.
A real classroom, not a case study
Everything you learn gets tested in an actual school placement the same week.
Support from two teams, not one
An Excell consultant and a Shrewsbury College tutor, both checking in on how you’re doing.
A qualification employers recognise
Finish with a nationally recognised Teaching Assistant / Early Educator qualification.
A clear route into the career
Finish already knowing schools, staff and the day-to-day — ready to apply for TA roles.
