Our next face to face and webinar course dates are below.
For over two decades we have been running courses across the country, aiming to provide high quality, value for money training for education professionals working in the area of special needs. We know from speaking to many of our delegates, that it is increasingly difficult for busy professionals to take the opportunity to attend courses off-site. In response to this, we also offer a broad range of online training courses, focusing on Examination Access Arrangements, Assessment, and Supporting Students with SEND.
The advantages of online courses are clear:
We offer both individual courses and group courses.
Our online courses are designed to be administered in one of two ways depending on whether one member of staff or a group are accessing the course. Courses can be viewed at any time, and in any venue where there is a good internet reception.
Group courses can be viewed in either of the following ways:
Each login will give access to the chosen course for 10 consecutive days (Language Modification is 20 days and exam helper cousres are for the rest of the academic year) and the course (or parts of the course) can be accessed as many times as required within this period.
If a group of delegates are accessing a course together, all delegates must be from your centre; you may not use the course to train staff from other centres.
N.B. Delegates will need a good internet connection to access our online courses.
