I recently completed the masters level 7 course in teaching and assessing learners with a specific learning difficulty (Dyslexia). I am an Associate Member of the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA) which indicates the high standard of professional competence I will apply in completing diagnostic assessments. I also hold an Assessing Practicing Certificate (APC).

A full diagnostic report can be accepted for an application for Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSA). These reports will only be accepted if they are written by an assessor holding a valid APC.

Therefore, insight into your own personal Dyslexia is essential to flourish in learning and in life.
