Principal’s Welcome From Katherine Burns Principal, Adult Community Learning Essex Lifelong learning matters to us - we want to make a difference to people’s lives.

ACL Essex is not just about second chances; it’s about third, fourth, fifth and sixth chances. In fact, it is about helping you achieve the goals you have set your sights on, throughout your life. But it is much more than skills and qualifications, crucial as they are, it is also about making sure you flourish; your health and wellbeing, your sense of community belonging, and your confidence and belief in yourself.

We aim to provide you with as many ways to flourish as possible. We are there in communities across Essex, to make a difference to residents and businesses, so everyone has the chance to make a difference for themselves and to the places that they live in.

Whatever your ambitions for learning might be, we will be there to support you on your journey.

Online learning We’ll be opening our classrooms as soon as we can. Until then we have moved some of our classroom offer to online delivery.

This means you can continue learning with us remotely. Our expert tutors will support you in the ‘online classroom’ to ensure your learning experience is of the same high quality you would expect in our centres.

To participate in an online course, you will need a laptop, tablet or PC with webcam, a microphone and speakers, internet connection with Google Chrome browser, an email address and be able to access websites.

Adult Learning Course Guide 2020-21

Where it’s not been possible to move some of our practical courses to an online ‘classroom’, our tutors have created other activities for you to engage with (please see Activities and Events - page 11), these include video clips, blogs and articles.

If you are unable to access our online courses please contact us to see what classroom provision might be available.

Classroom provision will only be provided where it is safe to do so. We reserve the right to delay/suspend any classroom courses in line with government guidance around Covid-19.

“The support I have had has been second to none. For example on the first day I had to call in when I could not find the venue in Basildon, and I had a call back straight away to guide me in. Emails are answered promptly and direction given where needed.

There was actual interest shown in my progress and I found this encouraging.”

“Another thank you for your on-line course. Summer scenes was as enjoyable as Spring scenes with such a variety of subjects to choose from. It was fun to try out different mediums and to follow your helpful instruction sheets. I would love to be able to go to a class and meet others but contributing to Padlet I began to know other students (even those who I hadn’t met before). I think we may have had even more support than in our 2 hour class, as you have always been so available on-line. I would certainly like to join another of your classes.”

Foreign Languages Make it your goal over the next few months to learn a new language! We offer a range of language courses, whether you’re learning for fun, holidays or work, begin learning today. Improve your vocabulary in a range of languages with help from our professional tutors.

Taster/Short Courses A short course for people wishing to try learning a language before committing to a longer course. No previous knowledge is necessary.

Starter For complete beginners who have no previous knowledge of the language. By the end of the course you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to ask and answer simple questions, and will be familiar with a handful of useful everyday expressions.

Improvers You should have studied the language for at least a year or be able to ‘get by’ in a limited number of everyday situations, such as basic shopping, ordering a meal and understanding simple directions and times. You will revise previous learning and will learn how to talk simply about yourself, your interests and gain further vocabulary and grammar language knowledge.

Intermediate You should have studied the language for 2 or 3 years and be able to exchange basic information about yourself and others and state simply what you did. You will revise previous learning and will learn further past and future tenses to develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.

www.aclessex.com | 01206 931 933

You will learn to converse simply but accurately on a variety of everyday topics, read and understand short texts and write messages and short letters.

Advanced For those who have studied the language for at least 4 or 5 years and who wish to consolidate and extend their skills. It may also be a suitable re-entry point for those who have studied at an advanced level in the past. Using a wealth of authentic materials, you will practise expressing your needs, wishes and opinions and will develop the ability to understand news items in the media and write letters and reports with confidence.

Circle This is a high level course for those who have studied the language for at least 5 – 6 years who are already reasonably fluent. Language structures will be revised and communication skills practised in order to improve confidence and increase fluency and accuracy. You will gain a deeper insight into the language and culture. Using a wealth of authentic materials, you will practise expressing your needs, wishes and opinions and will develop the ability to understand and discuss topics of general interest.

The people were friendly and respectful, and i felt very safe and free to share. I found the course really broad as well which was great.

I have gained a lot. It’s been a kind of support mechanism, and encouraged me to move forward with little valuable steps.

Apprenticeships & Work Based Learning Guide to Level Progression Level 2 Intermediate level designed for new entrants into a subject area or sector.

Level 3 Advanced level which assumes prior achievement at level 2 or previous study/work in relevant subject area.

Levels 4&5 Higher level programmes designed for those already working in the sector and looking to develop their skills up to degree level.

86

Adult Learning Course Guide 2020-21

There is no upper age limit on apprenticeships, so they are suitable for everyone.

You may be looking to gain your first step on the career ladder or be looking for a career change.

20% of your contracted hours will be spent in some form of ‘off job learning’ activity. We will work with you and your line manager to set up a programme and agree a learning plan.

The apprenticeship lasts from 12-24 months depending on the type and level being undertaken.

If you do not already have grade C (or suitable equivalent) or above in maths and English, you will be required to do this as part of your programme.

Apprenticeships are also suitable for people who are already employed but require additional skills to meet the needs of their role e.g. promotion or change of job.

Apprentices do not contribute to the cost of their programme – your employer will either pay the full amount through their apprenticeship levy or contribute towards the cost with the remainder funded by the government.

For further information, please see our fees policy on our website aclessex.com/fees-policy

Work Based Learning You will need to be employed in the sector that you are looking to undertake your qualification in.

Programmes are available at levels 2 through to 5 and are suitable for people wishing to develop their workplace skills. You may be required to attend some classroom sessions which could be outside of normal working hours.

You will have a dedicated tutor who will visit you in the workplace, set you work and observe your workplace practice. Funding could be available to help pay for your course e.g. Advanced Learning Loan.

Work based learning opportunities are available in the following curriculum areas: • • • • •

Early Years and Education Health and Social Care Leadership and Management Business and Customer Service Housekeeping and Hospitality

We deliver Intermediate, Advanced and Higher Apprenticeships across the county.
