**How you learn**
All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.
Each module ensures the perspective of the person and their family (the service user) is at the heart of the learning. You’ll have your own module e-mentor who supports your individual learning needs – plus an online study group offering peer learning support.
You learn through:
- online presentations and lectures
- module e-mentor facilitated forum discussions
- quizzes and practical activities
- independent study tasks
- online activities
- clinical hours and reflection

**Work placements**
The postgraduate certificate includes 40 clinical hours, which can be completed in your own workplace – or you can arrange to complete them in another suitable environment.
You’re also supported by mentoring sessions, facilitated by a mentor of your choosing from the SIE register of clinical mentors. In these sessions you’ll develop both your clinical reasoning and intervention skills.
**Networking opportunities**
You’ll also become a member of Sensory Integration Education’s community of best practice when you start your studies – the Association of Sensory Integration Practitioners (ASIP).
**Future careers**
This course prepares you for a career in:
- healthcare
