Training and Consultancy

ACE is one of the country's leading organisations offering training and consultancy on a wide range of education issues

We have extensive experience in the education field and our frequent contact with parents and carers as well as education professionals means that our training is evidence based. Our training is regularly updated to reflect the latest changes in education law and guidance and our trainers are experienced, knowledgeable and committed professionals.

We offer three core types of training:

1. Training Seminars

ACE runs a seminar programme of approximately 4 seminars a term. We train mostly in London but also in cities nationally if there is demand. Our Seminar programme includes a full day of training and a comprehensive training manual for delegates.

We cover a range of topics such as:

- School Admissions & Admission Appeals

- School Exclusions & Exclusion Reviews

- Special Educational Needs and Disability

- The role of the SEN expert at IRP

2. Tailored Training

We can create bespoke training courses tailored to suit your specific needs. We can include local information and issues to make the training more relevant to you. We deliver the training at your location at a time convenient to you.

3. Education 'Step-by-Step' Training for advisors and advocates

This training package consists of our comprehensive 'Education Step-by-Step' advisors manual and a full day's training on how to use it, together with free updates for the first year. The manual provides advisors with legally accurate information on the main areas of education law and guidance in which problems can arise. Written in a straightforward accessible style, the manual remains an invaluable up-to-date resource for those giving advice to parents and young people or advocating on their behalf.
