Overview

SEN Teaching Assistant and SENCO Training develops foundational knowledge for supporting pupils with special educational needs while introducing the wider responsibilities associated with Special Educational Needs Coordination. The course explores inclusive education, learning differences, child development, classroom assistance, communication, individual support, safeguarding, assessment, documentation, and collaboration. Participants will gain insight into how teaching assistants contribute to accessible learning and how SENCO-related duties help coordinate suitable support across educational settings.

Supporting pupils with additional needs involves understanding individual strengths, barriers, communication preferences, and learning requirements. Participants will explore differentiated activities, classroom organisation, positive behaviour approaches, observation, support planning, communication with families, and collaboration with teachers and external professionals. The training also considers SEN policies, identifying support needs, confidentiality, record management, equality, safeguarding, and reviewing the effectiveness of interventions. Attention is given to collaborative practice and the importance of following the procedures and statutory frameworks applicable to each educational setting.

The course can complement professional development across education, special educational needs, teaching assistance, childcare, learning support, and pastoral services. SEN Teaching Assistant and SENCO Training is suitable for aspiring SEN teaching assistants, classroom assistants, existing education staff, childcare professionals, learning support workers, and individuals interested in inclusive education. Participants can strengthen transferable qualities including patience, observation, empathy, communication, organisation, advocacy, teamwork, adaptability, planning, problem-solving, safeguarding awareness, record keeping, and professional judgement.
