STEPS

Practical and class-based learning opportunities are created to enable students to develop skills for life, work-related skills and self-advocacy within a supportive environment. Students will have a personal tutor who will help them every step of the way, and friendly support staff to assist them where necessary. Tutors will work closely with students to help them achieve their goals.

There are no formal entry requirements.

Student work is assessed throughout the year and progress towards student's individual learning goals is assessed after the completion of each lesson.

Students are able to take part in a range of voluntary work opportunities within their group and given the opportunity for individual work placements where appropriate.

Students may progress for up to 3 years dependent on achievement of the qualification. The emphasis on the programme is to prepare students for life outside college. On completion of college courses, students may progress onto activities such as voluntary work, further education and training or other possible alternatives to work.

Wheelchair accessibility on ground floor of the building. Specialist computer software and SMART boards.
