About Our Course

Are you interested in pursuing a career working as a Teaching Assistant or simply wish to develop your knowledge on autism? Our exclusive Teaching Assistant Level 3 & Understanding Autism Level 3 course bundle can provide you with a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge that can easily be transferred into your role working with children.

In just 100 hours you will understand how autism is identified and diagnosed, whilst also being given the opportunity to explore the key features of autism (in terms of the ‘triad of impairments’) and the best ways to promote good health, social inclusion and active participation.

In other words, you will learn how to create a safe and comforting environment for children with autism, where they are able to flourish, grow and achieve their true learning potential.

This knowledge – combined with the skills you’ll learn during our Teaching Assistant course – can offer you the tools to make an incredible difference to the children in your care as you’ll be able to accurately read their responses, their intention and their behavioural cues.

This course is a fantastic addition for anyone looking to work with children and specialise in a highly rewarding field, as alongside gaining a thorough understanding of the autism spectrum (and the various disorders which commonly accompany it); you’ll also be able to complete this course from the comfort of your own home.

No classes. No exams. No strict deadlines.

You can study this insightful course at a pace, time and location of your choosing, and easily mould it to fit around your current commitments. Our course is highly adaptable, and with the option to receive our course materials by post or by email, you can remain in full control of how you choose to study.
