2025 Applications Now Open!
Our Professional Awards Course (Award in Remedial Education) is a professional development programme that offers comprehensive insights into evidence-based practices and research surrounding specific learning difficulties. With a duration of 18 months, the course comprises four modules.
Previously offered as separate courses in literacy and dyslexia (in both Afrikaans and English), or mathematics and dyscalculia, we’ve now combined these streams to provide a holistic understanding of learners’ unique needs.
The first module delves deeply into the theoretical underpinnings and concepts related to specific learning difficulties, providing a robust foundation for practical application in teaching and practice.
In the second module, emphasis is placed on fostering collaboration, ethical considerations, and effective strategies for involving parents as integral members of the team.
Module three focuses on assessment and profiling techniques essential for designing tailored interventions. Under the guidance and supervision of a tutor, participants gain hands-on experience in assessing learners’ needs and strengths.
During this module, participants will be able to choose between assessing literacy or mathematics difficulties, or both, with the aim of setting goals for intervention.
The fourth module synthesises evidence-based practices with intervention strategies, further supported by tutor guidance, to empower participants in implementing effective interventions. During this module participants will do 15 hours of intervention either in Mathematics or Literacy, or a combination of the two.
