Speech and Language Therapy

Supporting speech, language, and communication needs is increasingly valued across UK education and healthcare settings, with schools, clinics, and community services relying on support staff who understand language development and can assist with practical interventions.

The Speech and Language Therapy course builds the practical knowledge needed to support communication development confidently in a support capacity. Suitable for those new to education or healthcare support roles and for existing staff strengthening their workplace capability, this CPD course develops understanding applicable across schools, clinics, and community health settings. Relevant roles include speech therapy assistant, communication support worker, early years language development practitioner, and SEN support worker, with salaries typically ranging from £18,000 to £27,000 per year. The certificate reflects CPD learning and does not confer HCPC registration as a speech and language therapist.
