It delivers a well supported course that may also include an introductory vocational option of studying towards a relevant qualification. This course will provide opportunities for young people to gain qualification in Functional Skills in English and Maths. These are qualifications that will enable progression to a higher level course, an apprenticeship or work. Students who join this programme may benefit from support with learning difficulties.

Curriculum support workers assist with young people in a mentoring capacity to provide guidance and support with various issues that affect young people to provide a suitable programme for their needs.
