Course Overview
This course offers a flexible learning programme designed to help you improve your skills, confidence and independence and achieve a qualification in English and maths.
The course will cover academic skills including English, maths and ICT which will be developed through practical tasks. You will undertake work-based learning and team work through team activities, community projects and food preparation sessions. Individual tutorials will allow staff to track and monitor your progress and you will also have access to social, emotional and pastoral wellbeing support.
This programme has been designed to bridge the gap between secondary school and college courses at Level 1 and above. You may have a specific learning difficulty or disability, behavioural or social need, been a school refuser or are an anxious learner. An initial assessment will help to build up your individual profile and set realistic targets for you to work towards.
The course will also focus on developing your skills outside the classroom, including self-assessment and career progression skills to allow you to make action plans. You will develop your employability skills, including job search and interview skills, as well as making CVs and completing application forms. There is also a programme of enrichment activities including art, yoga, reading and walking groups.
