  • Is this course for you?

    This qualification is aimed at anyone who wishes to develop an in-depth knowledge of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), particularly in order to progress into related employment in education or health and social care settings.

    Anyone who currently works in the education and health and social care sectors would also benefit from the course, as well as anyone with a personal need for or interest in developing a more detailed understanding of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

    Our distance learning courses are an ideal opportunity to enhance your career prospects.  You will receive all the necessary materials to complete the course in the comfort of your own home. You will be given 1:1  support as you work your way through each of the unit from subject specific professionals.

    This course is available ‘fully online’ only.

  • Required qualifications

    There are no formal entry requirements, however, a good level of literacy is required in order to complete these qualifications – reading, writing and comprehension, as these are knowledge-based qualifications. You need to be able to understand what you have read within the learning materials and answer the assessment questions in your own words and in full sentences. 

  • What skills will I develop?

    This course will equip learners with a detailed understanding of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including equality and diversity in the context of SEND and legislation and guidance that helps promote this. Learners will also look at how a person-centred approach can benefit individuals living with SEND, how SEND conditions can affect learning and how to support those living with SEND and their families.

  • Careers

    South Staffordshire College offers a range of level 2 distance learning courses in the ‘wellbeing sector’ which may be of interest on completion of this qualification.

    This course would be a useful addition to the CV of any learner looking to create a career pathway within the education or health and social care sectors.
