Whether you have a child with autism or you teach a class of autistic children, it is always useful to be more aware of this condition. There is no cure for autism, however, it can be managed if the caregiver is aware of how to perceive those with autism and how they see the world around them. The Diploma in Autism Awareness – Level 3 course aims to prepare caregivers, parents and teachers how to understand, cope and tackle symptoms and difficulties of autism.

The course will cover key features by first introducing learners to autism, challenging behaviour, learning styles and building positive relationships. Children with autism will not all present the same symptoms. Once the diagnosis has been made it becomes easier for the parent or caregiver to know how to meet the child’s specific requirements. With autism diagnosis on the rise, it is better to be aware of the condition than ever before.

The Diploma in Autism Awareness – Level 3 will also enable teachers, parents and caregivers to become better equipped at handling children with autism. It is a comprehensive course designed by an authority in autism and will prepare individuals on how to spot the symptoms and make the appropriate adjustments in children and adults. The course will give you the necessary skills and knowledge to help as many as possible affected by this condition.

The course has been endorsed under the Quality Licence Scheme. This means that Global Edulink has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 3 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

The course itself has been designed by Global Edulink to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. The Quality License Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.

*Regulated qualification refers to those qualifications that are regulated by Ofqual / CCEA / Qualification Wales

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
