SSCE Cymru e-learning

The SSCE Cymru e-learning training package has been designed to give educators the tools and confidence to understand and support the needs of Service children within their education settings in Wales. 

This free training package consists of nine topics and will take roughly two hours to complete. Your progress will be saved so that you can continue where you left off and revisit the training as required.

You will need to create an account and enrol onto the ‘Supporting Service Children in Education in Wales’ course. Upon completion, you will be asked to complete a short feedback form before your certificate becomes available for you to download.

If you need further support accessing the e-learning package please contact SSCECymru@WLGA.gov.uk.

“Completing this training has not only really opened my eyes to the different experiences that Service children are presented with, it has also given me the practical tools and resources to implement further support within our school. It was lovely to hear 'real experiences' from 'real people' throughout”.
