The induction is designed to support essential knowledge and skills for LSCs to perform effectively in the role and ensure nationally consistent practice.
Schools with a LSC starting in 2026 are encouraged to support their LSC to complete the induction which includes 3 courses.
Anyone with an Education Sector Login (ESL) can access the new induction course including all in-school LSCs, cluster-based LSCs, and SENCOs.
Course 1 is available now. Each course includes 3 modules, and each module will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete.
The induction is accessed through the Ministry’s Education Learning Management System (LMS).
