We recommend people interested in training to become Specialist SLD teachers, to enrol with SPELD.​​ Please complete the form and email Lyn at training@speld.org.nz, saying that Seabrook Mckenzie has suggested you contact us. Please copy us in at info@seabrookmckenzie.net. They will identify you as a referral from us.​

​

There may be scholarships available from Seabrook Mckenzie, under certain conditions, to assist with your expenses. Please email info@seabrookmckenzie.net to ask for information about the scholarship conditions. ​

​

After a year of on-line courses with SPELD, we will take over the training to enable you to achieve the SMC qualification Certificate in Specialist Teaching of Ākonga/Individuals with SLD (Cert.Tchg SLD). This is a further year which involves sessions to induct you into SMC policies and procedures and the practicum with a mentor, tutoring students.  

 

Once qualified, teachers can become registered with Seabrook McKenzie Centre. The Centre provides a supply of people needing tutoring, and ongoing professional support for graduates of the course. Until December 2023, our course was registered with NZQA. ​
