Full-time Course and Apprenticeship Guide 2013–14
Left school with few qualifications, lower grades than you were hoping for, or need extra support with your English and maths? We offer a range of courses that can help you to prepare for employment and develop your personal and workplace skills. Foundation Pathways are ideal if you are not sure what career direction to take and would benefit from extra time to try out an area of work-related learning that interests you. You will be introduced to the vocational areas and get a head start with lots of support with your English and maths.
Benefits of the Foundation Pathways: • high level of support throughout the course from teachers, learning mentors, study support team and a personal tutor • small classes and a high level of individual attention • suited to people who like learning by doing • strong focus on English, maths and personal development skills • work experience for most students • intensive support from our Employment and Careers team • start at any time of the year and move from the Entry Level to the Level 1 pathway once ready • continuous assessment and individual feedback throughout the course
