Thank you for your interest in Certificate IV in Education Support (CHC40213) with Australian Training Professionals.

There is currently a huge demand for Education Assistants to help teachers in schools by providing classroom support to students with a wide range of severe learning, physical and or behavioural difficulties. Assistants may work in a special school or in a mainstream school.

Certificate IV in Education Support offers Special Needs units for those who would like to work with Special Needs children. Some of the topics covered are;  Children with learning Disabilities, Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and children who have Language, Literacy and Numeracy needs.

• Helping pupils to improve their independent living skills
• Supporting pupils in social activities and outings
• Assisting pupils during therapy sessions
• Attending to pupils’ physical needs

Schools are becoming more inclusive, integrating special education students into general education classrooms.
