Childhood Licensed Practitioner

Course Outcomes

Successful completion of this course leads to Thrive Childhood Licensed Practitioner status.

By the end of the training, you will know how to be and what to do in response to children's varying, and often complex, social and emotional needs.

Using your free 3-month trial to Thrive-Online, you'll learn how to assess whole classes and individual children to identify where they are in their social and emotional development, and pinpoint areas where they need extra support. You'll then be able to create and implement targeted action plans from a raft of practical strategies and activities and monitor progress over time.

“I’m able to deal with disruptive behaviour in a positive way and feel more confident guiding colleagues to do the same. Some children who had previously displayed disruptive behaviour have dramatically changed, becoming calm, productive members of their class.” 

Who is it for?

This course is ideal for anyone working closely with primary school aged children in a teaching, healthcare or social care role. It is particularly beneficial to professionals with pastoral responsibilities, including safeguarding, special educational needs, SEMH education or a tutor role.

Please note: Prices are for courses starting on or after 1 September 2023. Price also includes Thrive membership, professional licensing on successful completion of the course, plus two CPD webinars in your first year.
