Autism is a spectrum condition that affects how a person communicates with others and how they interpret the world around them. There are around 700,000 people in the UK with autism - more than 1 in every 100. Having a clear understanding of the misconceptions, diagnoses and support surrounding autism are just some of the essential skills needed when working in mental health.

Learners will be assessed entirely online through our dedicated learning platform. All study materials, activities and assessments are provided digitally, allowing learners to work independently and at their own pace.
Throughout the course, learners will complete a series of online knowledge checks, written tasks and module assessments that demonstrate their understanding of the subject. These assessments are submitted through the platform and are marked by a dedicated assessor, who will provide feedback and support where required.
In addition to assessor support, learners can also access help from our administration team for any technical or general course queries. To contact us please email us at Independent.Learning@escg.ac.uk
The course duration is 4 months. To maintain steady progress and complete the qualification on time, we recommend that learners commit to approximately 4–6 hours of study per week. This may vary depending on individual pace and confidence.
