What did previous attendees say?
I would strongly recommend this resource to anyone working in SEN. The value for money is amazing. So good being able to revisit sessions afterwards – makes it an excellent ongoing resource for us.
The information presented was really useful and the staff and I can implement a lot of key ideas quickly and easily. Sharing the videos across the school has also saved me a lot of CPD preparation. Thank you.
Excellent content delivered in a very convenient way and at a very reasonable price. More information than I could handle in one dose – but thankfully I will be able to re-visit in my own time.
