Special education is a facet of teaching that focuses on delivering an appropriate education to children who struggle with mental, physical, emotional, or social delays. Special education teachers often must complete professional training and receive certification in both teaching and special education to work with students who have special needs.

A postgraduate certificate can help provide you with a valuable qualification to put you ahead of others in the same field of expertise. Once you have completed your undergraduate degree, a study program developed for your specific line of education can give you more advanced knowledge and experience.
