Career-wise, the iSENCO is a good certification to show employers that you have training and experience in leading and maintaining organisational change.” Alison Ford, Head of Inclusive Education & Therapy at The Overseas Family School.

This was not the case, the up-to-date research being all in place really helped develop subject knowledge and the support given by my tutor was amazing. She really provided me with in-depth support and guidance. Support was consistently given so I never felt alone. Questions were answered immediately, and guidance was step-by-step so that I could fully understand.” Jemini Patel, a SENCO and Assistant Head Teacher at an all-through school for children aged 4-19 years old..
