Hi LMS-
I did a traineeship to become an aide many moons ago.
The education part of it was (I think) cert 4 in language and literacy.
To my knowledge, you can't do it via traineeship anymore.
I found the job to be very rewarding, but funding was/is limited.
Full time hours were as rare as hens teeth in Melbourne.
I supplemented my income by also working in after hours care.
It is hard work for little money.
As with all jobs, support through the school is a plus- I worked for a great principal and an awesome teaching staff, def a plus.
I worked mostly with children that had mild to moderate learning difficulties- mostly in literacy and numeracy.
I worked with students of different ages, Over the years.
It is something I'm hoping to go back to one day.....
Let me know if you have other questions.
