Special Educational Needs and Disability Diploma Course

Are you interested in working with people who have special needs, especially when it comes to dealing with their education? Would you like to experience the amazing feeling of knowing that you have helped an individual with specific needs to overcome adversity and to be able to teach them brand new skills? If so, then our Special Educational Needs course will be perfect for any individual wishing to learn more about working within this field.

Introduction to the SEND Course

Our SEND course consists of 22 individual modules that will take you through the entire process of teaching individuals with special needs.

The course is designed to provide you with the tools that you will require in order to make a difference in how individuals are taught and give you a better understanding of their requirements and the challenges they face.

By the end of the course, you will be asked to take a test in order to show that you have understood the information provided throughout the various modules.

What you will learn

Each module is designed to give you a real insight into the Special Educational Needs industry from start to finish. In addition, the modules will also cover the relevant code of practice that any practitioner within this field needs to be aware of to ensure that potentially vulnerable individuals are being taught in the correct manner.

Please note that as SEN systems vary in each nation of the UK - the code of practice implementation covered in Module 4 refers only to the system in England.

As you move further into the course, you will be taken through various disabilities, both physical and mental, to provide you with a better understanding of how to handle their issues allowing them to make better progress than ever before. There will also be specific details on issues such as autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD, due to the complexities surrounding the handling of these issues.

Furthermore, our Special Educational Needs course is designed to help you deal with issues that may arise at various times, including anger from the individuals you are dealing with on a daily basis. This is regarded as being an important skill for any educator to have at their disposal due to the nature of the work that they do, hence, it has its own module to give you the best possible insight into handling that situation.

We will also provide you with information on psychological issues and behaviours to give you an all-round understanding of their needs. Finally, you will be taught the latest and best teaching methods and strategies for this particular field, allowing you to better prepare each and every lesson to make sure that the individuals will be able to get the absolute most out of each session.

Once the course is completed, you will be better placed to work within this field and able to handle any situation that may arise throughout your working day. (Please note, each school/organisation sets its own entry requirements, so you will need to check the job description to find out what skills/qualifications are required when applying for jobs in this field - this certificate does not guarantee a job).

You will learn:

  • An understanding of what is involved in SEND
  • The code of practice that you must abide by
  • How to understand various disabilities
  • How to cope with anger issues
  • The psychological impact and dealing with problems
  • How to best structure a class for each individual

What our students have to say...

Highly recommended study material

John To be honest I was sceptical at first. There are many online courses to choose from but what intrigued me the most about this course is the number of modules (22 of them). This appeared to be more detailed than others. The reason I took this course is because I started a new role as a support tutor for a large training company. I already had some experience in working with learners who had special needs and learning difficulties but wanted more in-depth knowledge and tips to support my delivery. I also wanted to know more on the legal of side of SEND too. I took the plunge and have been pleasantly surprised on how well it's been written and presented in manageable bite-size chunks. I was planning to study about a couple of hours a night but once I started I found it difficult to stop. It took me about 3 days to complete. The information is comprehensive but manageable. You can tell the person/persons who wrote this have a passion for supported learning and give practical strategies to support SEND and care about their sector and want to share their passion. Highly recommended study material. :-) John Grover - Byfleet

I enjoyed the learning experience

rebecca-dobson As a teacher I have experienced working with children with a range of learning and physical abilities. This course helped consolidate my knowledge and understanding gained during my 12 years of teaching and working with SEND children. It also added knowledge about the various diagnoses and categories and how to recognise them to support children's learning. I found the course easy to navigate, informative and I enjoyed the learning experience.

I hope to someday specialise in working with children with SEND. Rebecca Dobson – Chelmsford

Not only was it super value for money, but really easy to use and work with.

kim-hudspith I had looked at a lot of different courses like this to help my CPD as an NQT. Not only was it super value for money, but really easy to use and work with. Having the opportunity to print or PDF information means I can keep any work as evidence. I have been very impressed with this course and will defiantly look to complete similar courses soon. Kim Hudspith – Blyth

Great course, lots of really good information

harriet-more Great course, lots of really good information which I could take my time over reading and making notes. I could then understand and learn through the content. It has definitely already helped my teaching and will continue to be a source of reference. Harriet More - Bath

Thank you so much. Online learning, way to go.

A very practical course, suits my busy lifestyle. Thank you so much. Online learning, way to go. I work with adults with learning disabilities and difficulties. Over the years I have learned so much by doing, it was great to put theory into my practice. It was great to see the similarities of how schools work in comparison to adult education. I am so inspired I am now looking for specific courses that will deepen my understanding of special educational needs. Once again, thank you for providing an insight into the world of special educational needs, online. Enjoyed reading the theories, took me back to my youth. Dimple Patel - Essex

I now feel more confident

This course was excellent, detailed and enjoyable. It gave me lots of information and helped me develop my skills and knowledge to assist facilitate learning of students that have special educational needs. It outlined the main conditions that fall into the categories of SEND and a detailed explanation of them. This course also gave me lots of ideas on how to assist learners and the confidence of how to develop my teaching resources. It also highlighted the relevant legislation covering special educational needs and gave me important information regarding the roles and responsibilities of the SENCO and the teacher in supporting learners. I now feel more confident that I will be able to support these students better. Emma Louise Dalton - Macclesfield

kim-hudspith I had looked at a lot of different courses like this to help my CPD as an NQT. Not only was it super value for money, but really easy to use and work with. Having the opportunity to print or PDF information means I can keep any work as evidence. I have been very impressed with this course and will defiantly look to complete similar courses soon. Kim Hudspith – Blyth

Great course, lots of really good information

harriet-more Great course, lots of really good information which I could take my time over reading and making notes. I could then understand and learn through the content. It has definitely already helped my teaching and will continue to be a source of reference. Harriet More - Bath

Thank you so much. Online learning, way to go.

A very practical course, suits my busy lifestyle. Thank you so much. Online learning, way to go. I work with adults with learning disabilities and difficulties. Over the years I have learned so much by doing, it was great to put theory into my practice. It was great to see the similarities of how schools work in comparison to adult education. I am so inspired I am now looking for specific courses that will deepen my understanding of special educational needs. Once again, thank you for providing an insight into the world of special educational needs, online. Enjoyed reading the theories, took me back to my youth. Dimple Patel - Essex

I now feel more confident

This course was excellent, detailed and enjoyable. It gave me lots of information and helped me develop my skills and knowledge to assist facilitate learning of students that have special educational needs. It outlined the main conditions that fall into the categories of SEND and a detailed explanation of them. This course also gave me lots of ideas on how to assist learners and the confidence of how to develop my teaching resources. It also highlighted the relevant legislation covering special educational needs and gave me important information regarding the roles and responsibilities of the SENCO and the teacher in supporting learners. I now feel more confident that I will be able to support these students better. Emma Louise Dalton - Macclesfield
