What our students have to say…
Has taught me so much about the Autistic spectrum disorder
I have enjoyed doing this course, it was full of excellent information and has taught me so much about the Autistic spectrum disorder.
I will be able to use and implement what I have learnt in my job as a teaching assistant, I would recommend this course to everyone as I believe everyone should have the awareness I now have of people who have Autism.
I had done a fair few online courses to help me be a better teaching assistant and this has to be one of the best courses I have taken and I plan on doing more courses on this site as they are value for money.

This is a fantastic course! I really enjoyed it.
This is a fantastic course! I really enjoyed it. The most useful module is about working with autistic children. There are lots of tips on how to deal with autistic behavior!
This course really helps me in my work as a support for a 4-old autistic boy in a nursery. Every day I use an imaginative role play to develop his social skills. It really works! This course also increases my knowledge about autism and other related conditions.
Thanks to all modules I could increase my English terminology about autism as well (I am Polish). I can recommend this course to all people who are interested in autism! Thank you very much for this course.

There was no pressure on myself and progressed at my own pace
My son has Asperger Syndrome, so when this course, Autism Awareness Certification, came up with 90% off just after Christmas, I thought I would like to do it.
There was no pressure on myself and I progressed at my own pace, the course is very informative with lots of hints and tips. The process of going through the Modules and assignments was also very easy to do. The cost of the course was expensive if I hadn’t had 90% off.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending New Skills Academy courses to other people for their informative and ease of usage. I really enjoyed it.
