Course delivery

Essential Autism courses are delivered for between 5 to 20 delegates, all of whom will receive an accompanying booklet. 

It is a 6 hour course. Suggested timings for the course are 9.30am to 4pm, although this may be altered to fit with your local needs. Recommendations for timings and venues will be discussed during the Licensed User training. 

All Licensed Users must undertake to submit quality assurance data from their courses to The National Autistic Society in order to ensure quality control of the training. This will include attendance records and evaluation forms. 

Course booklet 

The booklet Essential autism – what you need to know supports the course and must be provided to each delegate attending the course. Currently priced at £5, this booklet is a unique resource which compliments the training by providing a collection of experiences, thoughts and advice from autistic adults. These are available to order from the National Autistic Society. 

Resources needed

The Licensed User Training Manual will support the delivery of the training. The course itself is delivered to the group using a PowerPoint Presentation, accompanying video clips, workbook and some additional hand-outs. 

Electronic copies of the materials along with master documents are provided in the Training Manual.

Resources needed include electronic equipment to show PowerPoint presentations and video clips, flipchart and pens, and light refreshments for arrival and break-time.
