Thousands of people have increased their understanding of autism as part of Learning Curve Group’s bid to improve awareness and encourage inclusivity.
Learning Curve Group’s online course, Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Autism, was developed to give people a greater understanding of autism and support autistic people to live healthy, fulfilled lives.
The course has proved particularly popular across the education and health and social care sectors, with thousands of people achieving the qualification each year. And, the government has set aside educational funding for the course which Learning Curve Group is able to access which means the course is free of charge for people to complete.
Due to the huge popularity of the level 2 course, Learning Curve Group have recently launched a brand new qualification, Level 3 Certificate in Understanding Autism, which offers greater insight into Autism. The Level 3 course is free to anyone without an existing level 3 qualification as part of the government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee.
