Skills 4 Life Courses

We run small, friendly classes in Literacy and Numeracy to support adults with a wide range of personal and professional goals.

Our ‘Bridging the Gap’ courses cater for adults whose ambition it is to promote better working prospects for themselves; those wishing to update their knowledge of English and Maths to support children/grandchildren with homework; and those simply wishing to update their own English and Maths skills.

We also support adults whose ambition it is to help children at school through the College’s ‘Childcare’ and ‘Teaching Support’ courses; those wishing to enrol on to ‘Business and Management’, ‘Teacher Training’, ‘GCSE’ courses and those following any course involving student portfolios of work and accreditation.

As some of the College’s vocational courses require a minimum entry standard we offer the following to support you through your chosen course:
• Literacy classes which will include punctuation, grammar & spelling, comprehension and writing skills.
• Numeracy classes which will include practical maths, percentages, multiplication & division, ratio, area and data.

Before starting a literacy/numeracy course you will be asked to complete an initial diagnostic assessment; this will assess your level and highlight areas for development.

All our classes work towards nationally recognised qualifications that are accredited by either the National Open College Network (NOCN) at Pre-entry, Entry 1, 2 and 3; Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) at Levels 1 and/or Level 2 and OCR in the form of the National Tests at Level 1 and/or Level 2.

Distance Learning is a very successful, bespoke service we offer to learners who are unable to attend classes but need the National Tests for either higher level courses or employment purposes. If you are interested and able to work with minimum support then this service may be for you.
