Reading, Writing, Maths up to GCSE, and other subjects such as IT,
Science, Tutorial and Enrichment. There are workshops and trips
throughout the year to make the learning rich and interesting. You
will have a dedicated tutor who will guide you and help you achieve
your goals. At Entry 3, the programme includes tasters in a range of
different subjects to help you progress onto other college courses
and into the workplace.
LEVELS
We have programmes suitable for all levels, from Pre-Entry to
Level 2:
From Pre-Entry to Level 2, learners build their confidence in
communicating in English and Maths, and get an introduction to
education, work and life in the UK.
At Entry 3, the course includes tasters, in areas including:
Business, Service Industries, Multi-skills and Community Services,
to supplement the English and Maths learning. These tasters will
help learners decide which area they would like to specialise in the
following year, and will provide personal, social and employability
skills and experiences which will enrich students' CVs.
At Level 1/ Level 2, learners can choose an academic route, focusing
on developing their Pre-GCSE academic speaking, listening, reading
