Skillsbase

UPDATED 20140331 10:46:01

The Skillsbase course will help students develop the skills they need to organise themselves and relate to other people so they can learn to live independently, and possibly get a job. Group sizes are small, nine in a class, to ensure that all students are well supported. As well as a qualified teacher, there will also be a classroom assistant. In addition, for learners with specific learning difficulties, additional learning support is available which is assessed. Additional learning support will usually be provided in small groups or on an individual basis. Skillsbase courses are for young people with barriers to their learning leaving school at 16+ who have either a statement of educational need, are receiving additional learning support in school or who are being supported by outside agencies such as family services, educational psychologist and speech and language therapists. They are for vulnerable young people with learning difficulties and disabilities who learn best in supported small group settings. In the first year you will develop your independence with cooking, cleaning, shopping, money management, being safe at home in the community and travel. You can study creative skills, horticulture, independent living skills, catering and hospitality, practical skills, sport and recreation.You will get lots of support and encouragement, including a personal tutor to help you. You also have the opportunity to gain work experience in your chosen pathway.
