The ASDAN Gold International Award Program entails 120 hours of more advanced training and covers mid-level aspects of the four SEND outcomes, roughly at GCSE or AS level, including issues pertaining to –

1. Communication and interaction,
2. Cognition and learning,
3. Social, emotional and mental health, and
4. Sensory and physical need

Additionally, ASDAN Gold helps “SEND” learners advance the process of cultivating core skills in teamwork, communication, problem solving, research and self-management, which begun at the bronze stage.  The course also helps mature learner confidence, self-esteem and resilience to greater levels.

Gold award training is generally suited to SEND learners who are 16 years or older, and can delivered in different duration formats, typically over 3 – 4 semesters.  The Tutoring fees indicated are for each semester of instruction.
