How do I become an Elementary & Secondary School Teacher Assistant?

In BC, completion of secondary school is required. Although there is no certification required to be a teacher assistant, most employers require completion of a 10-month college program in teaching assistance, educational assistance or another social science.
Teacher assistants who help students with special needs usually require specialized training and experience. Training in first aid and nonviolent crisis intervention (NCI) may also be needed
