This is a fantastic course, it is incredible value for money and it will give you all the information you need to be able to pursue the career of Teaching Assistant. Being able to do it all in your own time makes it a lot less stressful if you're trying to fit it around work and life in general and the addition of worksheets throughout helps you see which areas need improvement before you take the final test. Michelle Franklin - HavantThis course is very well written and understandable
I decided to change career and few of my friends did similar on line courses and now work as teaching assistants. This course is very well written and understandable.There is a lot of important information,all the chapters are well proportioned and enjoyable to read and understand. I really liked worksheets on the end of modules which give you chance to summarise all the important parts in each module.I can recommend this course to anyone who would be interested in becoming teaching assistant. Zuzana Duru - LondonI recommend for everyone who wants broaden their knowledge
I my opinion it is the best idea for people who working full time. You can start anytime you want, all files you can keep to learning. You are boss yourself:-) The platform is available anytime, I can back to module if I forgot something. I recommend for everyone who wants broaden their knowledge. Aleksandra Szczepaniak - LeicesterI have access to this information forever
A brilliant course which was very informative and I really enjoyed it. Very difficult test at the end so you do really need to read through every module to do the test and pass it. I will be recommending it to all my friends for sure. The bonus is I have access to this information forever. So I can revisit it anytime I like, how great is that??? I think its amazing personally. Jay Harper - LichfieldPacked full of very helpful information
This course is very comprehensive. It is packed full of very helpful information to aid the Teaching assistant to use his or her skills and knowledge to the full. If this course is being taken by those who have no knowledge of being a TA, then in my honest opinion they would certainly know about the role when they finish. I do like the online tests at the end. It does make you think and definitely reinforces what material has just been read. It is also an incentive when seeing a 'grade' to realise how much has been taken in thus encouraging enthusiasm to proceed to the next module. In all I would say that this course is certainly worth doing, I'm enjoying it and what it has to offer. Samantha Morgans - IpswichHighly recommended study material
To be honest I was sceptical at first. There are many online courses to choose from but what intrigued me the most about this course is the number of modules (22 of them). This appeared to be more detailed than others. The reason I took this course is because I started a new role as a support tutor for a large training company. I already had some experience in working with learners who had special needs and learning difficulties but wanted more in-depth knowledge and tips to support my delivery. I also wanted to know more on the legal of side of SEN too. I took the plunge and have been pleasantly surprised on how well it's been written and presented in manageable bite-size chunks. I was planning to study about a couple of hours a night but once I started I found it difficult to stop. It took me about 3 days to complete. The information is comprehensive but manageable. You can tell the person/persons who wrote this have a passion for supported learning and give practical strategies to support SEN and care about their sector and want to share their passion. Highly recommended study material. :-) John Grover - ByfleetManageable modules for learning
The course covers all the necessary aspects of SEN education, and is produced in manageable modules for learning. In terms of value and content, I would rate this as one of the best online diploma courses. Ainsley Nugent - LondonIt's brilliant !!!!
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to manage this my course and work. But to my surprise and comfort this course is set out so well I find I'm enjoying learning again and look forward to putting my studying into practice in my future job role....it's brilliant !!!! Marie Whitfield - BirminghamWorth every penny
A fantastic start for a new SENCo or a nice refresher for one who has been around for a while, worth every penny and has helped immensely! Leanne McMahon - BerkshireReally helped me pursue my teaching career
The SEN Diploma really helped me pursue my teaching career here in London. The course is very easy to understand and very friendly. It lets me go back to my previous module if i want to re-study again. Overall rating is Excellent! Thanks SEN Diploma for giving me a chance to study on my own time at a very affordable price! Christine Kim Grace De Guzman - LondonThis is an amazing course. Easy to follow and understand.
This is an amazing course. Easy to follow and understand. I am working with children already and I wanted to do a SEN course to extend my knowledge and able to work with a wide range of children including those with special needs.

The course has email tutor support and lifetime access to the course material which is brilliant for a mum, who is working currently as a volunteer to gain work experience. Andrea Piesiur – GravesendI enjoyed the learning experience
As a teacher I have experienced working with children with a range of learning and physical abilities. This course helped consolidate my knowledge and understanding gained during my 12 years of teaching and working with SEN children. It also added knowledge about the various diagnoses and categories and how to recognise them to support children's learning. I found the course easy to navigate, informative and I enjoyed the learning experience. In the future it will help me to think of the children in my care and how best to support their learning needs to achieve the best they can. I hope to someday specialise in working with children with SEN. Rebecca Dobson – ChelmsfordNot only was it super value for money, but really easy to use and work with.
I had looked at a lot of different courses like this to help my CPD as an NQT. Not only was it super value for money, but really easy to use and work with. Having the opportunity to print or PDF information means I can keep any work as evidence. I have been very impressed with this course and will defiantly look to complete similar courses soon. Kim Hudspith – BlythGreat course, lots of really good information
Great course, lots of really good information which I could take my time over reading and making notes. I could then understand and learn through the content.

I will be able to use and implement what I have learnt in my job as a teaching assistant, I would recommend this course to everyone as I believe everyone should have the awareness I know have of people who have Autism.

This is a fantastic course! I really enjoyed it. The most useful module is about working with autistic children. There are lots of tips how to deal with autistic behaviour! This course really helps me in my work as a support for the 4-old autistic boy in a nursery. Every day I use an imaginative role play to develop his social skills. It really works! This course also increases my knowledge about autism and other related conditions. Thanks to all modules I could increase my English terminology about autism as well (I am Polish). I can recommend this course to all people who are interested in autism! Thank you very much for this course. Monika Dudek – YorkThere was no pressure on myself and progressed at my own pace
My son has Aspergers Syndrome, so when this course Autism Awareness Diploma came up with 90% off just after Christmas, I thought I would like to do it. There was no pressure on myself and progressed at my own pace, the course is very informative with lots of hints and tips. The process of going through the Modules and assignments was also very easy to do. The cost of the course was expensive if I hadn't had 90% off. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending New Skills Academy courses to other people for their informative and ease of usage. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks to this amazing course my self-esteem is growing up and I feel capable to start a new job and a new life. Constantly I am studying and I hope to be successful in the future.

This is a fantastic course, it is incredible value for money and it will give you all the information you need to be able to pursue the career of Teaching Assistant. Being able to do it all in your own time makes it a lot less stressful if you're trying to fit it around work and life in general and the addition of worksheets throughout helps you see which areas need improvement before you take the final test. Michelle Franklin - HavantThis course is very well written and understandable
I decided to change career and few of my friends did similar on line courses and now work as teaching assistants. This course is very well written and understandable.There is a lot of important information,all the chapters are well proportioned and enjoyable to read and understand. I really liked worksheets on the end of modules which give you chance to summarise all the important parts in each module.I can recommend this course to anyone who would be interested in becoming teaching assistant. Zuzana Duru - LondonI recommend for everyone who wants broaden their knowledge
I my opinion it is the best idea for people who working full time. You can start anytime you want, all files you can keep to learning. You are boss yourself:-) The platform is available anytime, I can back to module if I forgot something. I recommend for everyone who wants broaden their knowledge. Aleksandra Szczepaniak - LeicesterI have access to this information forever
A brilliant course which was very informative and I really enjoyed it. Very difficult test at the end so you do really need to read through every module to do the test and pass it. I will be recommending it to all my friends for sure. The bonus is I have access to this information forever. So I can revisit it anytime I like, how great is that??? I think its amazing personally. Jay Harper - LichfieldPacked full of very helpful information
This course is very comprehensive. It is packed full of very helpful information to aid the Teaching assistant to use his or her skills and knowledge to the full. If this course is being taken by those who have no knowledge of being a TA, then in my honest opinion they would certainly know about the role when they finish. I do like the online tests at the end. It does make you think and definitely reinforces what material has just been read. It is also an incentive when seeing a 'grade' to realise how much has been taken in thus encouraging enthusiasm to proceed to the next module. In all I would say that this course is certainly worth doing, I'm enjoying it and what it has to offer. Samantha Morgans - IpswichHighly recommended study material
To be honest I was sceptical at first. There are many online courses to choose from but what intrigued me the most about this course is the number of modules (22 of them). This appeared to be more detailed than others. The reason I took this course is because I started a new role as a support tutor for a large training company. I already had some experience in working with learners who had special needs and learning difficulties but wanted more in-depth knowledge and tips to support my delivery. I also wanted to know more on the legal of side of SEN too. I took the plunge and have been pleasantly surprised on how well it's been written and presented in manageable bite-size chunks. I was planning to study about a couple of hours a night but once I started I found it difficult to stop. It took me about 3 days to complete. The information is comprehensive but manageable. You can tell the person/persons who wrote this have a passion for supported learning and give practical strategies to support SEN and care about their sector and want to share their passion. Highly recommended study material. :-) John Grover - ByfleetManageable modules for learning
The course covers all the necessary aspects of SEN education, and is produced in manageable modules for learning. In terms of value and content, I would rate this as one of the best online diploma courses. Ainsley Nugent - LondonIt's brilliant !!!!
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to manage this my course and work. But to my surprise and comfort this course is set out so well I find I'm enjoying learning again and look forward to putting my studying into practice in my future job role....it's brilliant !!!! Marie Whitfield - BirminghamWorth every penny
A fantastic start for a new SENCo or a nice refresher for one who has been around for a while, worth every penny and has helped immensely! Leanne McMahon - BerkshireReally helped me pursue my teaching career
The SEN Diploma really helped me pursue my teaching career here in London. The course is very easy to understand and very friendly. It lets me go back to my previous module if i want to re-study again. Overall rating is Excellent! Thanks SEN Diploma for giving me a chance to study on my own time at a very affordable price! Christine Kim Grace De Guzman - LondonThis is an amazing course. Easy to follow and understand.
This is an amazing course. Easy to follow and understand. I am working with children already and I wanted to do a SEN course to extend my knowledge and able to work with a wide range of children including those with special needs.

The course has email tutor support and lifetime access to the course material which is brilliant for a mum, who is working currently as a volunteer to gain work experience. Andrea Piesiur – GravesendI enjoyed the learning experience

It also added knowledge about the various diagnoses and categories and how to recognise them to support children's learning. I found the course easy to navigate, informative and I enjoyed the learning experience. In the future it will help me to think of the children in my care and how best to support their learning needs to achieve the best they can. I hope to someday specialise in working with children with SEN. Rebecca Dobson – ChelmsfordNot only was it super value for money, but really easy to use and work with.
I had looked at a lot of different courses like this to help my CPD as an NQT. Not only was it super value for money, but really easy to use and work with.

Kim Hudspith – BlythGreat course, lots of really good information
Great course, lots of really good information which I could take my time over reading and making notes. I could then understand and learn through the content.

This course also increases my knowledge about autism and other related conditions. Thanks to all modules I could increase my English terminology about autism as well (I am Polish). I can recommend this course to all people who are interested in autism! Thank you very much for this course. Monika Dudek – YorkThere was no pressure on myself and progressed at my own pace
My son has Aspergers Syndrome, so when this course Autism Awareness Diploma came up with 90% off just after Christmas, I thought I would like to do it. There was no pressure on myself and progressed at my own pace, the course is very informative with lots of hints and tips. The process of going through the Modules and assignments was also very easy to do. The cost of the course was expensive if I hadn't had 90% off. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending New Skills Academy courses to other people for their informative and ease of usage. I really enjoyed it. Dawn Hughes – Mold, WalesWhy you should study with us

Wow what an incredible insight for the start of anyone's journey in property. This course gives you so much information and there are tests and questions on each of the modules. The course is very easy to follow and well laid out. You can actually make notes on the pages of each module using the notes tab! I am very excited to say that I passed and I only spent one week on this course. I will print all the PDF information and keep it in a file with my certificate. I feel very confident for my future plans now I have completed this course.

I am a doctor. This course is well organized, covering all areas of CBT. The videos and practical tips are very helpful. All the modules are arranged with good explanations and examples. Also each module consists of quick test and assignment which enables you to gain knowledge. Finally I would like to thank the New Skills Academy team.

Yet another well laid out course. This is my 3rd course so far with New Skills Academy.
More than likely will be back for another one soon. This course was enjoyable to do, and I learnt a lot and passed first try. My certificate will be up on the wall soon.
Rob Coops
Fantastic course! Well-presented and challenging with frequent assessments. I feel a serious sense of accomplishment having not studied for over 30 years! Videos that accompany each module are carefully thought out and informative. Am so impressed with this course, have now signed up for 3 other courses and recommending New Skills Academy to everyone!

I took up this course initially to help me with my own dog, but found that as I worked through the material I actually started thinking that this could be something that I could use to make a second income. From start to finish I found the course engaging and interesting. I am now doing another dog related course and am experiencing the same level of enjoyment. I would recommend New Skills Academy without hesitation.
