We will also offer specific tips for parents and teachers, whereby we will discuss concepts such as diagnoses, understanding the disorder, how teachers and schools can help and how families can be more supportive.

Finally, we will provide some practical tips for parents and teachers, to encourage regular communication in children with selective mutism.

  • The characteristics, signs and symptoms of selective mutism
  • The causes and triggers of selective mutism

Anyone who has an interest in learning more about this subject matter is encouraged to take the course. There are no entry requirements to take the course.

The course is broken down into 4 individual modules. Each module takes between 20 and 90 minutes on average to study. Although you are free to spend as much or as little time as you feel necessary on each module, simply log in and out of the course at your convenience.

You can study the course any time you like. Simply log in and out of the web based course as often as you require. The course is compatible with all computers, tablet devices and smart phones so you can even study while on the move!

Once you have completed all 4 modules there is a multiple choice test. The questions will be on a range of topics found within the 4 modules. The test, like the course, is online and can be taken a time and location of your choosing.

The pass mark for the test is 70%.

If you don’t pass the test first time you will get further opportunities to take the test again after extra study. There are no limits to the number of times you can take the test. All test retakes are included within the price of the course.

Amazing course, easy to understand and very straight forward. It gives you a chance to review previous modules, also you are able to take notes and save them in your course profile, where you can check them at any time.

Along with the course, you get rewards for completing your course modules. It opens the door to a chance of doing something you like or changing your career, also for people that just want to get new skills in different areas.

Do it at your own pace from your own home, I usually do it on my days off. Totally worth it, I recommend it.

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 !!!!

I found this course very useful. It covers the all categories of cleaning and goes in to great detail without being overwhelming. Its a clean and easy to use step by step interface that glides you through the modules. If you want to take more time and revise in your own time without access to the internet, the PDF viewer and print functions are a great feature. This course has helped me gain the new knowledge of this industry and will be the first step towards a great career. There is certainly more than meets the eye when it comes to cleaning and I have an even bigger appreciation for an industry which is vital to millions and widely under appreciated. Thank you British Cleaning Certificate for the excellent service!

Having worked in schools for years and having a recently diagnosed son this course has opened my eyes to the world of Autism. The course is both informative, easy to work through and enables the learner to gain full understanding about all aspects of Autism.

Through completing this course I have gained employment supporting a child with Autism and I have been able to implement many strategies to assist both my pupil and also my own son.

I would highly recommend this course if you would like to gain a richer understanding of Autism and would like to study online and at your own pace.

Excellent.... Very much enjoyed the course and will do more and more.... As this is an online course, all of the information is available to you whenever and wherever you require it. You can study at a pace that is comfortable for you, and access the information in the course 24 hours a day. Most people who take the course still work full time, which helps you maintain your current lifestyle whilst working towards achieving your dreams.
To access the course, you will require a device that allows you to access the internet, and not only can you see the course, you can also use the online support feature.
Furthermore, you will find the course to be incredibly easy to go through thanks to the individual modules.
When completing the course, you must pass a multiple choice test, and you will then be awarded your diploma. They can post the diploma certificate to you for an additional cost, or you can download and print the certificate at home.

Website is easy to navigate; three main areas: beginners, intermediate and advanced are very well structured; videos and exercises are short, and interactive which is convenient if you study on the go; not boring at all.

You can always come back to the particular topic if it is not clear or you want to refresh your memory. Highly recommend this Excel course if you are beginner or you just want to become an expert in certain parts of this programme.

The price is just right for the quality of course you get. I believe my skills improved a lot since starting this course
