Courses for Students with Learning Difficulties

The full time Pre Vocational courses are intended to help people to develop their personal independence and prepare them for work. Students may take up to three years on these courses and then go into work or other training. Alternatively, you may only need one year to find out what you want to do and get the necessary qualifications to go onto another course. It is possible to try lots of different subjects depending on your individual interests. Classes are small, so you can work at your own level and speed. Extra help is available as part of the course and, through learning support and tutorials, we are able to cater for a wide range of difficulties.
