A new National Training Programme for SNAs was announced by Minister for Special Education and Inclusion, Josepha Madigan TD on 28th September 2020. This is the first dedicated national training programme for Special Needs Assistants (SNAs). It will be delivered by UCD and funded by the Department of Education at no cost to the SNA.
The new online programme for SNAs will consist of five modules delivered over a ten-month period covering inclusion, communications and language, a range of special needs and information on caring for students with additional care needs.
This is a prototype - your feedback will help us to improve it.
