Information on Special Assistant Courses in Ireland

Childcare / Healthcare Career Information:
If you enjoy working with children, a career as a Special Needs Assistant (SNA) could be perfect for you! An SNA helps teachers in schools, by providing classroom support to pupils with a wide range of severe learning, physical or behavioural difficulties. Working under the guidance of the principal and/or the class teacher, SNAs may work in mainstream national and secondary schools, or in a special school, helping pupils to achieve their learning goals. If you get a position as an assistant, you may just be working a few hours a week or you may be full-time.

SNA Training Courses in Ireland:
