Training courses for obtaining the specialisation for teaching support activities for pupils with disabilities

Pre-enrolments from 13 July and by 13:00 on 16 July 2026

Article 15 of Law no. 183/2011 provides that public administrations and private operators of public services may no longer request or accept from private individuals certificates issued by Offices of the Public Administration, and therefore it is possible to self-certify possession of the required requirements. Where it is necessary to present a certificate, it may be requested from the Servizio Formazione post lauream by completing the appropriate form, following the instructions indicated therein, which can be downloaded from the modulistica section.
