In this section you will find courses for students with learning and/or other disabilities. We offer courses at three main levels; Pre-entry courses for inexperienced and pre-entry level learners. Personal development classes and the Café Project build skills for independent living, literacy and numeracy, personal development and employment. And finally the Entry To classes which are inclusive meaning they are suitable for those students with learning difficulties and disabilities and those mainstream students who have little or no previous experience in the subject.

Further education/qualification classes
Courses with a blue band are accredited and are aimed at those who would like to work towards a nationally recognised qualification. The exam fee is included in the course fee for all qualification courses.

Courses leading to a qualification will require an interview before you can enrol.

Concessions
If you are entitled to a concessionary fee and join any accredited course, you will receive a £20 discount for every additional accredited course you join.

To help pay for course fees and materials, it may be possible to apply for the Learner Support Fund.
