The Programme

This course focuses on the development of work related skills primarily in the areas of horticulture, hospitality and catering and retail for post-19 students with severe learning disabilities. Other vocational opportunities are available depending on the student's personal progression pathway. Learners need to work in a mature way to complete skills on time.

The Programme Content

The course is practically based and the programme timetable includes the College sandwich run, horticulture and catering through the Acorn Cafe and coffee club. Students have the opportunity to take part in the Ten Tors event and an annual residential which is an integral part of the course. We aim to offer learners a full day supported work placement in their second year of study. Students will have their own personal progression pathway to accommodate their specific learning needs.

Entry Requirements

Students need to be able to achieve at entry level in a practical area of work. Certification will be through the National Proficiency Test Council Certificate in Skills for Working Life. Learners will need to complete skills which are assessed both practically and in the classroom.
