Subject: Accredited training for Support Providers
> Hello all,
> Here in Northern Ireland, we have a Register of freelance Support
Providers
> managed by a consortium consisting of the University of Ulster, Queen's
> University and the Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education. We
> provide support in all the usual categories ranging from note-takers,
> proofreaders and library helpers to IT tutors, Study Support Tutors
(Mental
> Health and general), and Dyslexia Support Tutors.
> As part of the on-going development of the Register, we are keen to come
up
> with some form of accredited training course. This is still in the very
> early stages, but I would envisage that it would involve general training,
> with perhaps some specialist modules relating to the areas of disability
in
> which the tutors provide support. We do run various training courses at
the
> minute, such as Disability Awareness, Dyslexia Awareness and Note-taking,
> but we are keen to have training which is accredited to an official body.
> Does anyone know of any such courses that operate in any other
institutions,
> or of any accreditation bodies which may be able to provide me with some
> pointers here?
> Any advice on or off list would be much appreciated.

> Best wishes,
