I no longer offer 'on-site' school training on a 'per day' basis. Much of this type of training has been moved to the PD Centre of my website to which schools can subscribe, giving their staff opportunities to plan their own CPD targeting the help they need and allowing them to engage with it at a time that best suits them.

Online Training with SENict PD Centre

Many schools and individuals choose to build their skills around teaching with assistive technology using our PD Centre. Subscribers have access to a huge range of training and support materials wihch include over 60 hours videos and recorded webinars covering the use of switches, touch devices, pointing devices and eye gaze systems to support the learning and communication needs of young people with severe and complex additional support needs.

Colleagues can use the PD Centre to target specific gaps in their knowledge or follow one of our guided courses which detail all aspects of teaching with specific technologies. They'll also have access to all of our skills progression documents which detail the process and include level descriptors which you can tailor for specific children or to your school system. All of the activities on our website are designed to support teaching to these level descriptors. In addition to the 600+ activities on the website, PD subscribers can download over 30 subscriber exclusive activities and install them on the computers in their school or classroom.

A PD Centre subscription for your whole school costs just £145.00 per year with payment being made either with an invoice or directly on the website. Subscriptions are also available to individuals for just £23.00 per year. Payment for individual subscriptions must be made on the website. Whichever you choose you'll have immediate access to all of our training and support resources.

Off Site Virtual Training

"The virtual training was INCREDIBLE. It was really inspiring and so many people pretty much bounced out of the room excited about how they can open the world up for their pupils." St. Giles School Retford

Ian is now able to offer virtual training and support to schools and organisations involved in the education of young people with severe and complex addititional support needs anywhere in the world. Using Zoom and other online communication technologies, Ian can deliver training on all aspects of using ICT to support communication and learning to your whole school, small groups or provide 1:1 support sessions for individual members of staff wherever your school is in the world. You can choose the session times to suit your school's needs. Ian can provide everything from whole day, mornings, afternoons and twilight sessions. We'll do our very best to accomodate your needs.

All of our virtual training is recorded and you will receive a private link for colleagues to re-engage with the training at a time that suits them for 12 months from the date of the training. Comprehensive handouts are supplied which you can share on your school network.
