Understanding Autism, Certificate

The Level 3 Certificate in Understanding Autism is aimed at support staff working with people on the autism spectrum in a voluntary or paid capacity, and for family members/carers who want to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of autism to support progression to employment, career development and/or on to further qualifications. The course will give you the opportunity to learn and share best practice from across the sector.

Course Overview

  • 20-week online programme
  • 3 hours per week teaching via Teams (Thursday evenings 5pm to 8pm)
  • An additional 4 hours a week independent study to fit around home and work commitments.
  • Each week you will have access to our Autism Café - an informal virtual space to ask questions, advice and guidance on autism specific to your practice/life environment.

The course is delivered by specialist practitioners from Weston College’s nationally recognised Specialist Support Provision, all of whom are highly trained and experienced in delivering high quality autism support and promoting an inclusive, person-centred ethical approach.

The course consists of 5 units:
