Throughout the course, you will learn about the four main areas of SEN, developing your communication, relationship-building and active listening skills, to support pupils in their everyday learning activities. It covers the types of duties required of an SEN teaching assistant, methods for teaching, the sen curriculum, and much more.

By the end of the course, you will be equipped with a range of skills required to support pupils with learning difficulties, with a formal qualification to kickstart your career. To provide you with ease of access, this course is designed for both part-time and full-time students.
