Skills for Work Programme

This programme is much more traditional in that learners enrol on subject specific qualifications starting at Level 1. Each learner follows their chosen career/subject, and this will be the focus of their week.

All programmes include maths and English qualifications and external examination. Learners will have 15 different sessions each week and will be expected to move around the college independently managing their own timekeeping & punctuality.  There will be a weekly tutorial and access to relationships, Sex and Health Education as part of the Programme.

Learners on this programme will undertake a programme following their aspirations, that allows them to undertake a range of sessions across the Trust including moving between sites and follow external assessments and examinations. All learners on this Programme will undertake an external work experience placement supported by a Job Coach in an area that aligns with their course aims. This programme starts at level one on the national framework. For some learners this is an ideal course to move onto once they are more confident and familiar with college life and they have tried a range of options and subjects.  

 We work with a range of awarding bodies, including BTEC, Ascentis and Sports Leaders. All of the qualifications on this programme have entry requirements, coursework, independent study and examinations.
