This qualification is designed for students working at Entry Level 1. Entry Level 1 is for those students with profound and complex learning difficulties and/or disabilities, including those working towards Entry Level 2. Once you have completed the course, you may have the opportunity to progress on to other Supported Learning courses.

You will be taught in small groups and will be set targets to achieve. Both your targets and your progress will be monitored regularly in tutorial sessions.

We will assess your individual needs at your initial interview, and if necessary, we will arrange additional support to help you achieve your learning goals.

We recommend that you attend one of our exciting open events so that you can look around the department, the college and meet the tutors. You are welcome to do this before or after you apply. These events have proved very successful in ensuring students and their families see the best of what the college has to offer such as our inspirational teaching areas, teachers, library facilities and places to eat.
Once you have applied our experienced Enrolment Team will consider your application carefully and will let you know, by email, if the College would like to make you a conditional offer based on you meeting the specified entry requirements. If your predicted grades or career aims suggest that an alternative subject area or course level would be more appropriate for you at this stage, we will contact you either by telephone, email or text. If you have told us that you have some additional support needs we will contact you to find out more so that we can help you.
