All students have a personal tutor to guide and support them through the course. Great care is taken to plan a course of study to suit each student’s interests and capabilities. The Connexions service plays an active part in planning for progression routes.

Supported learning courses have a varied and stimulating enrichment programme, including local visits using public transport, sport and social opportunities, and a coffee shop run by supported learning students. This course also includes a residential trip to an activity centre.
