About our courses

All of our courses are aimed at people who do not yet have their first full Level 2 qualification, e.g. 5 GCSEs grades A*-C or an NVQ Level 2. However there are some exceptions.

Courses offered include:

• basic ICT (computing)
• literacy and maths
• English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
• Personal Development and Employability
  

Learners can also take qualifications in all subject areas.

Each centre is equipped with computers, interactive whiteboards, printers and broadband internet. The centres are connected via a network, which allows users to move between the sites to continue their learning.

Disabled access

We are currently reviewing and improving access at our learning centres to make them as accessible as possible for disabled users. All of the learning centres (apart from the Turkish Education Group) are already wheelchair accessible and we are looking to improve access for disabled people.
