Certificate in Facilitated Learning (Systematic Instruction)

This accredited Level 6 course will help you hone your skills as a trainer of people with disabilities. It explores developing and implementing an individual training plan for a person with a disability using the Systematic Instruction teaching strategy. Person centredness is at the heart of this programme, so it is highly relevant for day services staff needing to implement practices in line with New Directions.


During the 6-week course, you will work in partnership with a person with a disability to support them to develop a skill to achieve a goal they have set as part of their person-centred plan.
