Expansion of early years SENCO training

The Department for Education (DfE) is delighted to announce that they are expanding the fully-funded, accredited Level 3 Early Years SENCO training offer.

An additional 2,000 places are available between now and August 2024, with particular focus on training SENCOs in areas currently underrepresented in training uptake, including the North East and North West of England.

This offer is part of the early years education recovery programme and will mean up to 7,000 SENCOs will be trained by August 2024.

Existing Early Years SENCOs with a Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification, or those due to take up the role of SENCO, including childminders, are eligible for the training.

Closing date: 24 September 2023.
