Proficiency Certificate in Special Education (PCSE) - Full-time

This full-time version of the Proficiency Certificate in Special Education is aimed at students who have not yet entered the workforce and want to qualify directly as a Teacher Assistant in Special Educational Needs institutions, rather than upgrading an existing role as in the part-time version of the same certificate. The course runs over two semesters and carries 20 credits, the same credit total as the part-time route, but compressed into a shorter, full-time timeframe suited to pre-service students without existing teaching commitments. Because it targets people aspiring to the Teacher Assistant role rather than staff already working in it, the full-time track functions as an entry pathway into SEN support work, complementing the part-time certificate aimed at in-service personnel.
