Course overview

Usually, you will already have been a college learner to progress on to this course, however we do take applications from outside the college.

We would like to get to know you as soon as possible before you are due to start. We run transition programmes and taster days to assess your needs and also make the transition as smooth as possible.

Adults come to college one or two days a week and work on both functional skills and leisure activities. The course is free if you are in receipt of disability benefits.

You can attend this programme for as many years as you would like to, although this depends on the number of places available.

  • Functional skills English and maths optional
  • A range of leisure opportunities depending on the resources your local college can provide, such as cookery, gardening, photography, art and drama

You will access a range of activities in groups of 8-10. You will have the opportunity to work in small groups, as an individual or in pairs in both classroom and practical-workshop settings.
A learning support assistant will be provided to support you and the group however you can bring more support with you if you need it.
