It is more than ten months. They take part in six modules, which comprise inclusive education of children with special educational needs, language and communications, autism, medical and complex needs, promoting positive behaviour and self-regulation and professional development. Those are the different modules they study. Each module consists of six two-hour online sessions over a six-week period followed by two weeks of consolidation and tutorial support. I understand there is one tutor for every 56 pupils who take part. The feedback, particularly from the first cohort, is included in one of the reports the Department is considering vis-à-vismoving on to accreditation. The feedback, overall, has been extremely positive. I hope SNAs see it as being something positive for them and that we can do more of it into the future.
