What is the Level 2 Specific Learning Difficulties course?
It is an online Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Specific Learning Difficulties, usually studied over about seven weeks. It covers ADHD, ADD, dyslexia and dyscalculia, diagnosis and support into study and work. The provider Pre-Check confirms funding.
This course is for people who want a clearer understanding of specific learning difficulties across healthcare, social care and education.
The current LCG units cover characteristics of ADHD, ADD, dyslexia and dyscalculia, how difficulties affect children and adults differently, early diagnosis, assessment methods, and support into study and employment.
Learning Gateway is not the training provider. These courses are available through our training-provider network. Funding and final eligibility are confirmed by the provider.
Units and topics below are taken from the current Learning Curve Group course page.
Learning Curve Group has given UK Learning Gateway this baseline for Level 2 Flexible Learning learners. It is a starting point only — the provider's Pre-Check makes the final decision.
Final funding eligibility is determined through Learning Curve Group's Pre-Check and can vary by your circumstances, where you live, the funding route and provider availability. UK Learning Gateway does not override the provider's decision.
Availability and funding can depend on where you live. The provider's Pre-Check will confirm the options available for your postcode.
