Training to become a Learning Support Assistant
Who becomes an LSA?
- Teachers who want to specialise in inclusion and one-to-one work.
- Career-changers moving into education from psychology, therapy, social work, or childcare.
- Graduates with a degree in education, psychology, or a related discipline.
- Parents who have supported their own child with learning needs and want to turn that experience into a career.
Honest expectations
- Compensation is competitive with UAE market rates for trained LSA professionals. Specific rates are discussed during the application process.
- Most placements are full school days during term time.
- It's demanding work. Children are unpredictable, parents are worried, schools are pressured. You need resilience as much as skill.

What the work involves
One-to-one support for a child during school hours or at home. Close collaboration with teachers, therapists, and parents. Observation, note-taking, and progress tracking.
Continuous learning — no two children are alike.

What our team says
From LSAs who train and work with Incluzun.
“Ms. Harmeet is a true taskmaster, result-oriented Inclusion professional and she knows her work very well. She possesses some truly exceptional leadership qualities that make her a true leader. The LSA/Shadow teachers forum launched and spearheaded by Incluzun Champions is a place where you get encouragement, support, and motivation.”

UAE school placement
“Ms. Catherine is one of the main reasons why our job feels like less of a job. Her passion and dedication make a real difference to our students. She introduced the intervention programmes we use to help our students overcome barriers to learning — including Toe by Toe, Primary Movements, and One Step at a Time.”
