Programme Aim
The purpose of this award is to enable the learner to develop the relevant knowledge skill and competence to use a range of skills and tools, under direction and with limited autonomy, in familiar situations. It enables the learner to participate in and contribute to modern society, to pursue a range of employment opportunities or to progress to further education or training.
This part time course is also ideal for those who left school early and have never completed any exams. The class is small and students have regular feedback on how they are progressing. In some cases students might need additional one-to-one support for a few weeks which can be provided.
