The training is co-produced and co-delivered by autistic people. You will have access to our unique curriculum, Community of Practice support sessions and webinars and we will support you to deliver the training in your setting with an autistic co-Trainer. 

Four-day pilot training

In November-December 2023, we are delivering a four-day pilot training course for delegates working in residential special schools and colleges. Each training course runs over four days and is delivered completely online. Training cohorts have a maximum of 23 delegates to optimise each delegate’s experience and learning. Places can be booked on a first come, first served basis.
