L1 Foundation Learning

• About the Course

  Our Level 1 Foundation Learning Courses are designed especially for young people with special educational needs, disabilities, and other support needs. There are specific Foundation Learning courses with language support for students requiring EAL/ESOL support.

  These courses offer a supportive introduction to various vocational pathways. All of our Level 1 Foundation Learning Courses include:

  • A focus on improving English and maths skills
  • Developing self-confidence through a personal and social development tutorial programme
  • Gaining practical employability skills like CV writing and interview preparation
  • A thorough introduction to your specific chosen course subject, and an introductory vocational qualification
  • Working towards progression to level 2 courses, or supported internships, or employment.

  With small class sizes and expert support, we'll help you build the skills and confidence for your next steps.

• Entry Requirements

  Applicants with no GCSE passes (or equivalent) or those not studying towards GCSEs will be offered a place on our Level 1 provision. To study on this programme students will need to demonstrate an ability to achieve Level 1 English and maths by the end of the course. This provision is appropriate for applicants with additional support needs and/or an EHCP.

  Next move - Depending on level achieved, progress onto a Level 2 course, an Apprenticeship or employment.
