Course Details
This qualification is designed for learners who want to develop additional specialist knowledge, skills and behaviours within education and early years, with a particular focus on progressing into a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) role. It is suitable for both 16 to 19-year-olds and adult learners looking to strengthen their professional competence.
Learners will build on existing early years knowledge and develop the specialist understanding needed to support children with special educational needs and disabilities. The qualification provides an opportunity to explore the responsibilities of a SENCO and develop the skills required to coordinate appropriate support within an education or early years setting.
A strong focus is placed on developing occupational competence that reflects the minimum requirements expected for specialist SENCO practice. Employers can use achievement of the qualification as reliable evidence of a learner’s knowledge, skills and behaviours within this area.
Overall, the qualification provides a valuable progression route for those looking to specialise in SEND and take on greater responsibility within education and early years settings. It builds on the Early Years Educator occupational standard.
