How is the course organised?

You will come to 2 sessions a week. One will be the Core Skills Class in the Macbeth Centre, the second will be a shift at the café in White City. Each shift has 2/3 learners plus the tutor to run the Café from 9am till 2pm. All learners come to the Core Skills class where any worksheets and evidence are gathered to go towards your certificate.

What extra study or practice is expected outside of the class?

Learners are encouraged to use the skills learnt on the course at home and in their lives, i.e. Healthy eating, health and safety, etc

How will my progress be assessed?

Learners will have an individual learning plan with realistic targets for both personal and class goals. They will be encouraged to review these targets with the tutor and understand their learning goals. Once a goal is achieved a new one will be set. Worksheets will be marked in class and kept to show the learner how they have progressed during the course. Learners will be able to say how they feel about the class during the course and at the end of the year. Learners will produce evidence towards their accreditation goals. This may be in the form of photographs, video or worksheets.

What can I expect to go on to after this course?

Ideally learners will be moving into paid, or voluntary, supported work placements. Learners can also progress onto the Skills For Employment Project or onto Inclusive classes or mainstream provision

Are there any other costs and what do I need to bring?

You are asked to bring £1.50 each week to the Core Skills class only. This is to pay for the ingredients for cooking that we then all eat together.

What support is available?

There is a Learning Support Assistant in every class to give special help where needed and support the tutor in class, along with learners own personal support if necessary. Specialist aids are also available such as hearing loops, roller-ball mice, large and keyboards. Makaton symbols and images are used where possible to help understanding. Senior Learning Support Assistants are available to support with enrolling, information, guidance and communicating with learners homes. Tutors who have the same learner will also work together to make sure all teaching and support is pulling the same way across all their classes.
