T1D Levels 2026

For all school staff.

The T1D Level 1 course is aimed at staff employed by a school with a student living with Type 1 Diabetes. All such school personnel require essential foundation education on the immediate needs of the student with Type 1, including the need to act immediately and escalate to a person with adequate training/accreditation to manage appropriately. 

The course also outlines how Type 1 impacts the student and family and the important role of the school in optimizing safety, learning and emotional health outcomes for the student. 

Introduction

This T1D at School, Level 2 Course is based upon the legally validated ISPAD Position Statement on Management of Type 1 Diabetes in Schools. The ISPAD Level 2 Education and Training comprises two distinct components:

1. T1D Level 2 Education course specific to the needs of that student.

The Level 2 Education Course is aimed at School personnel with day-to-day supervisory responsibilities for the student with T1D.

2. T1D Level 2 First Aid Training course.  (Assessment & validation - RTO-controlled)

Level 2 Training Course is being designed under RTO governance and will align with the ASQA Standards for RTOs, including the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence. 

Note: This part of Level 2 not included on here.

For designated school staff to complete recommended modules. 

Schools/education authorities have a legal obligation to provide complex care, including insulin administration, at school. Successful completion of the T1D Level 3 course will provide a certificate which will assist, but not accredit, the school staff member to undertake complex care of the student with Type 1 at school.

The parent and medical team recommend which modules to complete for the individual student. Additional education (module completion) and training may be required in special circumstances (e.g. remote camp).

The course may take 20-30 minutes to complete depending upon required modules.
