About Your Course

Children with special educational needs require additional support during their education. Because no two children are the same, their challenges are just as varied. This requires specialist knowledge to adequately help them achieve their educational and personal goals.

This online course will help you to understand child development and the challenges those with special educational needs face. You will learn how to support them to overcome their challenges and achieve their learning potential.

You will learn how to work with children with specific speech, language and communication needs, helping them to feel empowered rather than focusing on their difficulties.

You will also learn how to work in partnership with parents and carers and third parties to support children with physical disabilities to get the most out of their learning and schooling experience.

If you’re already working with children with special educational needs or want to specialise in this area, this course will provide you with a solid introduction.

This course will allow you to go on study further qualifications in special educational needs. This could lead to employment working with children with special educational needs, or university level study.

Getting Started

This course is intended for individuals wanting to understand more about special educational needs and how they impact on children and their schooling.

This course will provide you with key insight into the learning and physical disabilities that can impede learning and what can be done to overcome them.

If you’re pursuing a career working with SEN children then this online course will give you key information to build on. This course will also allow you to build on your knowledge through further studies.

The skills you gain will help you to build positive relationships and foster trust between you and the children you support.

Developing specialist knowledge will also help your employability as individuals qualified for working with SEN children are in great demand.

You can enrol and start your learning the very same day via our online portal. That means you don’t have to choose between your education and your existing commitments.

At the end of this course successful learners will be given the option to receive a Certificate of Achievement from the Quality Licence Scheme and a Learner Unit Summary (which lists the components the learner has completed as part of the course).

The course has been endorsed under the Quality Licence Scheme. This means that Stonebridge Associated Colleges has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 3 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

The course itself has been designed Stonebridge Associated Colleges to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.

The Quality Licence Scheme is part of the Skills and Education Group, a charitable organisation that unites education and skills-orientated organisations that share similar values and objectives. With more than 100 years of collective experience, the Skills and Education Group’s strategic partnerships create opportunities to inform, influence and represent the wider education and skills sector.

The Skills and Education Group also includes two nationally recognised awarding organisations; Skills and Education Group Awards and Skills and Education Group Access. Through our awarding organisations we have developed a reputation for providing high-quality qualifications and assessments for the education and skills sector. We are committed to helping employers, organisations and learners cultivate the relevant skills for learning, skills for employment, and skills for life.

Our knowledge and experience of working within the awarding sector enables us to work with training providers, through the Quality Licence Scheme, to help them develop high-quality courses and/or training programmes for the non-regulated market.

*Regulated qualification refers to those qualifications that are regulated by Ofqual / CCEA / Qualification Wales
