Professional Education (SENCO) Bath Spa University

Overview

Professional Education (SENCO) at Bath Spa University is designed to build on the practical training you’ll receive as part of your professional qualification to become a SENCO (the NPQ). You’ll get the chance to engage more deeply with the theories and research that form the foundation of SENCO practice. It gives you the chance to become a critically reflective practitioner who can respond to the changing landscape of education and lead change. 

If you're an ambitious education professional who is currently training to become or is a newly qualified SENCO, this is also your chance to achieve an academic qualification at postgraduate level. The credits you'll gain can be used towards MA Inclusive Education and MA Professional Practice awards.

Careers

This Postgraduate Certificate builds on the practical training you receive elsewhere as part of the NPQ for SENCOs. New SENCOs must achieve the NPQ for SENCOs within three years of appointment. 

Those who complete this PGCert can accredit their prior learning towards our MA Inclusive Education and SEND course.
