Who is the training for?  

The Essential Autism Licensed User training is for professionals who work in a variety of settings including education, social care, employment, etc, and want to increase understanding of autism across their organisation. There is an application process as we need to ensure that delegates have the right knowledge and skills before attending the course.

Specifically, we expect that delegates will have:

• at least 1 year’s experience supporting autistic people
• a good understanding of autism
• completed our Understanding autism e-learning module before attending the Licensed User training (included in the overall cost).

Prior to attending:

• fill in an application form detailing experience in supporting autistic people. The application form is checked by the training team and if criteria are met, attendance is approved.
• complete the Understanding autism e-learning module

During the training:

• attend all parts of the training
• participate in activities

After the training:

• sign the licencing agreement
• access and download electronic Essential Autism materials and resources
