What the college says

Autism is a condition that is as highly complex as it is common within our society. People who live with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASCs) can be affected in many different ways with subtle differences present from case to case. There is no one particular type of autism, as cases range from very mild to very severe. This course is suitable for anyone who wishes to develop their understanding of autism and the principles of supporting individuals to live healthy and fulfilled lives. The course will benefit anyone working, or looking to work, with individuals who have an autistic spectrum condition. You will gain an understanding of the spectrum of autistic disorders and how they can affect people in a variety of ways, as well as explore the importance of using a person-centred approach to provide support. You will learn how to use appropriate communication skills and positive behaviour to encourage individuals with autistic spectrum conditions to live fulfilling and independent lives. This is an online course. You will receive your welcome email with further details within 48 hours of enrolment. Once you have enrolled, you will be asked to provide a copy of an official form of ID, such as passport, before receiving your login details.
