What the college says

This course is for learners that have completed routes to vocational education (RVE) within the CCSL provision, or have completed Entry level 3 qualifications in mainstream classes (gateway) and have been informed they are unable to progress to gateway/level 1 within that course (due to academic ability). This course is a preparation for paid employment, apprenticeship or a supported internship. If a learner has not been able to get onto their first-choice course due to their maths/English grades not being high enough, please look for the princes trust course as this will be more suitable.

What you need to get on

Learners are required to have Entry level 2 or above in maths and English to complete this qualification, as well as the desire to increase their independence (travel training, money management etc).

How you are assessed

Entry level and Level 1 study, English and maths retakes, and supported programmes.

What this level means

A supported starting point if exams have not gone well yet.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
