What a course looks like
Practical, small, and taught by people who do the work
Courses are led by the same team that runs therapy and shadow teaching at BrightPath. Sessions use real classroom situations: a child who can't settle after break, a routine that falls apart on a school trip, a conversation with a worried parent. You practise what to do, then talk it through with the trainer.
Certificate
Everyone who completes a course receives a BrightPath certificate.
