Real Training: A BSME Network Supporting Partner

Online – The CCET online course is delivered through our proprietary platform Campus Online. With this route, you can complete the content of the course in your own time, wherever you have internet connection. This is the most flexible option, and you can start at any time.

Intensive – Our CCET Intensive courses allow delegates to complete the module more quickly by covering the majority of the theoretical material as well as some of the written assignments within the 3 days, allowing them to focus on the practical work when they are back in their setting, before attaining the CCET qualification. There is some pre-course preparation to do before attending. During the 3 days, you will receive expert tuition, take part in wide-ranging discussions and carry out a variety of evaluation tasks. These tasks will act as milestones in your learning progress. You’ll get to know fellow delegates well, as you take part in intensive and interactive sessions.

If you prefer in-person, face-to-face learning, our intensive CCET is for you. This is a three-day course that will take you through the theoretical content, with only the practical work to be completed and uploaded via Campus Online.

This is a unique qualification designed for educational professionals working in an international setting. The aims are:

• To develop effective leadership and management skills in relation to SEND coordination within an international school setting.
• To develop an understanding of how wider cultural, political, historical and community contexts influence SEND provision internationally.
• To engage with international research and evidence-based practice regarding inclusive education.
• To critically examine the research on interventions in the field of SEND and demonstrate both knowledge and understanding of both its applications and limitations.
• To develop different models of partnership within their setting, with an understanding of the place of power and ethics in listening to and understanding children, parents and carers.

The iSENCO course will fully enable SENCOs in an international setting to deal with the unique challenges associated with working with third culture kids, students with EAL and students with SEN who may require additional support.

This course also carries 60 masters level credits which can be carried into the MEd SEND programme if further study is desired.

Open only to those who hold the CCET qualification and QTS or QTLS status, our Access Arrangements Course (AAC) will enable you to:

• Understand and apply the principles of access arrangements.
• Get to grips with the essence and implications of the relevant legislation.
• Write suitable and appropriate assessment reports for submission to examination boards where they are required.

CPT3A combines the CCET qualification with AAC, and will allow you to:

• Write access arrangement reports yourself.
• Meet the access arrangements assessor criteria published by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ).

How long does it take?

It depends. Most delegates tend to complete the programme within 3-5 years. It usually takes a year to complete a module, however some delegates will choose to study 2 modules at a time. It also depends if a delegate has existing credits that they can bring into the programme, for example from our CCET, CPT3A, NASENCO or iSENCO courses.

Delegates may be able to bring in credits they have achieved with another provider. If you think this could apply to you, find out more about Recognition of Prior Learning.

You are able to take breaks between the modules if need be, however, as long as you return to complete the programme within five years, your credits will remain valid.
