Early Childhood Special Educational Needs (ECSEN) Level 3 Award 

This award is open to anyone working in an educational setting - specifically nurseries & primary - in a teaching, support or leadership role with children.

The ECSEN Award is £950 plus VAT where applicable. VAT is chargeable on courses funded by private individuals.

The ECSEN Award specification is clear that the number of Guided Learning Hours (GLH) is 24 and the Total Qualification Time (TQT) is 34, although clearly some individual learners may take more or less hours in terms of TQT. The Guided Learning Hours on our programme equate to 12 hours of taught sessions (4 x 3 hours) and an expectation of a minimum of 12 hours online study.

Total Qualification time will include induction to the programme, initial needs analysis, 2 x 45 minute calls with a mentor, and assessment activity.

You will be assessed through an e-portfolio of evidence against these 26 Assessment Criteria. Throughout the course you will complete and upload assignments. Once all 26 criteria have been demonstrated, you will be awarded the qualification (subject to moderation).
