About this course

What is it?

Raising Aspirations comprises four modules that have been designed for learners aged 13 and under with special educational needs and disabilities.

Each module focuses on a different Preparing for Adulthood pathway (employment, independent living, community inclusion and health). Modules can be undertaken separately and built into a profile of achievement. For each module learners complete activities and gather evidence to demonstrate their progress and skill development.

Raising Aspirations is easy to set up and administrate – simply purchase resources below to get started.

If you're interested in person-centred programmes that meet the needs of SEND learners, take a look at My Independence, our suite of four certificated programmes aimed at young people with a range of special educational needs.
