New SENCO qualifications now available
Launched in August 2025, our two new and updated SENCO qualifications are now available as part of the Post-16 reforms.
They offer early years professionals enhanced opportunities to develop the skills and knowledge needed to support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
How can these qualifications open up new opportunities educators?
SENCOs play a vital role in making sure children with SEND get the right support from the start. These qualifications will help learner‘s gain the skills and confidence needed to step into or support the SENCO role.
- Access funded training pathways that weren’t previously available
- Enhance your SENCO offer with optional digital skills units
