This entry level programme has been designed to meet the needs of young adults with learning difficulties. It consists of a selection of modules designed to enable students to leave college and enter the world of work, voluntary, supported or paid employment. Applications for a place in Supported Learning require the young person to be in receipt of an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). You cannot apply online or directly to the college. A consultation must come from your Local Authority and on receipt of this a member of the Supported Learning team will contact you directly.
