Preparation For Adulthood (September 2024 Start)

This 2 year course offers a well-structured and safe setting that allows students to explore a diverse curriculum. Its objective is to assist and challenge students to achieve greater independence, while encouraging them to embrace the responsibilities of adulthood. The course aims to familiarize students with college life through a small group setting, which helps enhance their social skills and ability to learn alongside peers. Specifically designed for pre-entry level students who require improvement in communication, independence, and social skills, the course facilitates individualised goals and targets in line with their EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan).

Students are supported to carryout work-related tasks initially within the college and then out in the local community.

We will identify and document progress and accomplishments through RARPA (recognise and record progress and achievement) by establishing and evaluating goals.

If appropriate some students may progress to the other courses within Inclusive learning or adult services.

The course will focus on providing specialised instruction and support tailored to individuals with significant cognitive challenges, incorporating strategies for communication, sensory integration, life skills, and functional skill.

English and Maths delivery is imbedded in the programme and we will assess your skills and plan how to best develop them based on your own personal needs.

The course is taught by well qualified and experienced lectures who are dedicated to ensuring student success through effective curriculum delivery and high-quality pastoral support.
