Speech Therapist Introduction Certificate
Speech Therapist Introduction Certificate Course
Being able to communicate and express yourself through words is something that most of us take for granted. However, for approximately 20% of the population, communication is exceptionally difficult. These individuals struggle with speech or language disorders affecting their ability to understand or deliver messages.
Disorders like this impact every area of a person’s life.
Thankfully, in most cases, early intervention and treatment can help.
This course gives you an introduction to speech therapy with content spread out over two modules. We begin by talking about speech and language therapy as a profession, focusing on how you can obtain work in that field though discussions about relevant skills and required education.

I am over the moon with my experience in completing my first online course with New Skills Academy. I found the whole process quick and efficient and the site very easy to navigate. I found it helpful to complete short tests at the end of each module as I feel this help to review the information I have read and confirm that I understood it and could retain the information as well. I found the course to be very well written and the information provided to be interesting and relevant to the course and the final test to be efficient in recapping everything I had learnt throughout the course. I completely the course quite quickly as was able to study using my iPhone as the course was iOS compatible which I found to be the best way of accessing the course, information and tests. I'm thrilled that I passed my first course and can't wait to get started on the next one. Thank you for such a positive and rewarding experience.

This was the first online course I’ve funded myself and I was apprehensive as you don’t really know what you’re going to get!
However, I’m happy to report that this course has given me a really good grounding in Child Psychology and has whet my appetite to pursue some of the content in more detail under my own steam.
When I had questions, the Support Team’s responses were lightning fast and reassuring and for the fee paid and the experience I’ve had this has been great value for money and a firm foundation on which to build in the future.
Thank you New Skills Academy!

I found the course relevant, clear, concise and a good basis for a change of career to HR. I thought it was good value for money, the balance of information, the exercises were good and liked the fact that I can access from wherever and study at my own pace.
I found the website easy to navigate and liked the fact it remembered where I was up to. When I asked a question of support, I got a fast response that solved my question. I would do courses with New Skills Academy in the future.
Thank you very much!
Victoria Ames
The course is informative and easy to follow. I especially liked the history tips given throughout the course.
I have included the payroll Diploma course to add another skill set to my CV and being self employed and in the mature bracket it is good to keep yourself updated on all new legislation. I also liked the option of returning to complete modules in your own time to fit in around work commitments.
Claire Bishop
Great support and I can honestly say that this course helped me so much in order to understand what it takes in order to become a successful recruiter and allowed me to develop in this area.
Excellent, I thought the course was well put together and liked the fact that the modules were short and manageable.

The layout of the course was excellent and the notes options is very good. The content is perfect and well structured, making it easy to understand and follow. I will definitely be taking more courses in the future.

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.

The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
Ross Dunsten
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
Very interesting and helpful course. I ve learned a lot of interesting things about make up and the tutorials were very helpful and easy to understand. I really reccomend this course for everyone who is passionate about make up and wish to develop their skills and make a career from their hobby.
