Award in Remedial Education
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED!
Our Professional Awards Course (Award in Remedial Education) is a part-time professional development programme crafted for those who want to gain both a comprehensive understanding of, and hands-on expertise in the assessment and intervention of specific learning disorders. Over the course of 18 to 24 months, this four-module programme provides deep insights into evidence-based practices and current research, all supported by dedicated supervision to help you build practical skills.
The course begins at the end of February 2026 with Module 1, which establishes a robust theoretical foundation. This module delves into the core concepts and research behind specific learning disorders, ensuring you have a strong understanding of the subject matter before moving on to practical application.
Module 2 starts in the first week of June 2026, and shifts the focus to the collaborative and ethical aspects of the field. You’ll learn effective strategies for working with parents and other professionals, fostering a team-based approach to supporting learners. This module emphasizes the importance of communication and partnership in creating successful outcomes.
Next, Module 3, starting in the beginning of August 2026, is where you’ll gain hands-on experience in assessment and profiling. Under the guidance of a tutor/ mentor, you will practice assessing a learner’s individual needs and strengths to design a tailored intervention plan. You’ll have the flexibility to focus on either literacy or mathematics difficulties, or both, with the goal of setting specific intervention goals.
Finally, Module 4 commences in January 2027, and synthesizes everything you’ve learned. With continued tutor/ mentor support, this module is dedicated to implementing evidence-based intervention strategies. You will complete 15 to 20 hours of practical intervention in either literacy, mathematics, or a combination of both, applying your knowledge in a real-world setting to empower learners with the support they need.
