Special educational needs training is essential for anyone who wants to support children and young people who learn differently. This course provides a complete introduction to SEN practice, combining practical classroom strategies with a strong understanding of legal frameworks, communication methods, and inclusive learning approaches. Whether you are new to SEN or already working with learners, this programme gives you the confidence and tools to make a real difference.

You will explore the most common types of SEN, including autism, ADHD and dyslexia, and learn how these conditions affect learning, behaviour and communication. The course explains how statutory assessment works, how schools identify pupils with additional needs, and how tailored support plans are created to ensure every learner has equal access to education. You will also learn how to adapt teaching methods, manage classroom challenges, and build a safe and structured learning environment that promotes emotional wellbeing.

Strong communication is at the heart of effective SEN support, so this course includes practical training in body language, active listening, speaking with confidence and building trust with both pupils and families. You will also develop professional skills such as time management, stress control and personal development, helping you stay effective and resilient in demanding educational settings.

Throughout the programme, you will gain insight into real-world SEN support, learning how to respond to difficult situations, manage behavioural challenges and work collaboratively with other professionals. These skills are valuable not only in schools but also in care settings, community organisations and private learning environments.

At the end of the course, learners receive a free course completion certificate. For those who want to strengthen their CV or professional profile, multiple premium certificates and transcript options are also available for purchase. All students benefit from 5-star rated support available 24/7 through email, ensuring guidance is always available when needed.
