Course Overview

This course is aimed for learners with moderate learning difficulties who need a year in college to improve their confidence and independent learning skills before potentially accessing mainstream vocational courses or a supported internship programme.

You will learn through classroom theory as well as putting this into practice through work placement, taking part in discussions, group work, role-play, practical application and project work.
