Study Details: 2 years - 5 years
Literacy is a gateway to opportunity, yet for many learners with lived experience of Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) such as dyslexia, that gateway can feel frustratingly out of reach. This course is built on the belief that every learner deserves to be understood, supported, and empowered. This leading course in the field of dyslexia prepares you to critically evaluate and develop evidence-informed practice to become a specialist teacher and specialist assessor of learners with literacy difficulties. This course is recognised by the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) and leads to Approved Teacher Status (ATS), Approved Practitioner Status (APS), and Associate Member of the BDA (AMBDA) and an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC).
A minimum of a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university in a relevant subject, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard is required. A minimum of two years’ experience in an educational role e.g., teacher/teaching assistant is also a requirement and ideally, appropriate experience of working with children with literacy difficulties. Students will need access to pupils under the age of 16 with literacy difficulties to teach and assess. Students will need DBS clearance for modules two and three and the research report.
