“When Sparsholt College , offered online courses to staff at Wallop Primary School. I was extremely interested in learning more and receiving a level 2 certification in Specific Learning Disabilities. The courses that I have completed online have provided me with essential skills that I can use daily within my specific role as a 1-1, as well as linking well to my apprenticeship in CACHE level 3 Diploma in Supporting Teaching and Learning” – Clare Eyles, Wallop Primary School
