Education - Working with Children with Literacy Difficulties (Taught)

Course summary

We have designed our PGCert Education – Working with Children with Literacy Difficulties in collaboration with the Oxfordshire Local Authority. This course is for those who want to lead on work with children with literacy difficulties in primary and secondary schools. It is ideal for experienced teachers and graduate teaching assistants. You will have the opportunity to:

  • network with other practitioners
  • access information about local jobs specialising in work in the sector.
Our School of Education combines high quality teaching, significant research and consultancy activity. We teach in collaboration with the Oxfordshire Local Authority. This reflects a long standing, ongoing partnership with the Authority and local practitioners. The course meets the criteria for the taught elements of Associate Membership to the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA). You can apply for full AMBDA status by completing additional observed and mentored practice with a qualified AMBDA practitioner. You can organise this through the course for an additional fee.

Assessment method

Each module is assessed with a 4000 word essay or report. Assignment schedules are timed to meet your needs as a busy practitioner. Your assignments will be based on the work in your own professional context. For example, case studies of the assessment and intervention of two children.


Entry requirements

A degree in a relevant subject area and experience of working with children with literacy difficulties. For the associated AMBDA award (Associate Membership of the British Dyslexia Association), Qualified Teacher Status is also needed.
