Applying to become a Behaviour Support Practitioner
This course does not provide accreditation as a Behaviour Support Practitioner (BSP).
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) does not recognise any course as providing accreditation as a BSP. Anyone who wants to become a Behaviour Support Practitioner (BSP) needs to lodge an application with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. The Commission will then grant the applicant provisional status as a 'core' (or entry level) BSP until a full audit of their skills and experience is conducted. Following the audit, the BSP may be granted 'proficient' or 'specialist' (more advanced) status.
Students who complete this short course can use their Certificate of Completion in their application, as part of their portfolio of skills and training.

With the combination of reading material, video resources and video lectures, I have learnt information and evidenced informed practices related to all areas supporting positive behaviours.

Great information, very easy to understand, enjoyed how it broadens your mind to behaviours we would usually just consider "bad" to understand why they occur and how to prevent them. very enlightening.

Great course to gain knowledge in positive behaviour support for either NDIS or educational environment.
