Programme Overview

These innovative programmes are designed to build capacity in neuroinclusive practice across a wide range of professional contexts, including education, training, community, public services, and workplace environments.

Grounded in neuroaffirmative principles, both courses focus on understanding neurodiversity as a natural and valuable aspect of human variation, while equipping participants with the knowledge and practical skills to create inclusive, equitable environments.

Funding Opportunities

A range of funded and self-funded places are available to support professionals across further education, training organisations, the voluntary sector, and industry.

Through project funding, a number of places are subsidised to widen access and support workforce development. Applicants will be allocated a fee category based on their employment context and eligibility subject to availability of places.

Further information on the funding available for each programme is available on the 'Fees and Funding' tab on each programme page.
