Teaching is an important part of childhood development, but not everyone learns in the same way. With the SEND Certification programme, you can provide your teaching staff with the tools they need, in order to understand alternative teaching methods and improve the success of their students.

Special educational needs are becoming more prevalent and require special attention, and this multi-level programme is designed to go through the fundamentals of inclusion and designing lessons, in order to meet the needs of all students.

What’s covered in the course?

This certification programme has a total of 22 modules and covers a wealth of information related to SEND. Here’s just some of what your staff will cover in the course:

• An introduction and background to SEND, along with an outline of the different types of learning needs, which gives the foundation for teaching staff to move forward with the programme material;
• Theories of learning and how they can be applied in a classroom setting;
• SEND codes of conduct and teacher responsibility, so you can be sure that your staff are held accountable to the highest standards;
• A focus on several learning challenges, including dyslexia, autism and ADHD;
