Testimonials

I am familiar with the course materials and the level of understanding required to complete the course.

Advisory Teacher

Deafness

This training has helped me to see where deaf pupils may struggle. It has made me much more aware of how I can adapt the environment to better suit the needs of the pupil and has also given me a variety of ideas/tools with which can help pupils with these needs.

Qualified Teacher

Deafness

It has given me confidence and much more knowledge about VI, that I can take and put into practice. The case studies were great for giving more understanding.
The training has had an impact on outcomes by helping me develop a better understanding on how to help and develop my pupil’s learning especially in communication. It has also given me different activities to try and help them focus more.

Teaching Assistant

Deafness

Due to the current covid conditions, rules and regulations I have not been able to put things into physical practice. However, I am very happy with how the course has gone, what it has taught me and am confident I will be able to put together some good interventions to helps those children who need our help.
To be able to support colleagues and children in my school. Use different strategies for experiences. Be able to understand work life balance.
I have shifted my focus on building and nurturing a positive relationship with each student and repairing and restoring relationships after a conflict or problem has arisen. It has also made me think about the clear steps I need to take in order to change a certain behaviour of an autistic pupil.
Before I took this training, I have no confidence to identify correctly the students with behaviour difficulties. This training gave me knowledge about how to understand the behaviours and how to support the students with difficult behaviours. Not only for the students, but this course also gave me knowledge about how to be a supportive teacher, how to handle the class (class management knowledge). The tutor I met was very patient too. When we had a face-to-face sessions, he gave very effective suggestions and was so helpful for my overall learning.
