Apply for this course
This course is designed for young adults who have an EHCP (Education Health and Care Plan) and have basic independent livings skills, but wish to develop them further to live independently at home and in the community. The course will also give students an opportunity to achieve an entry 1 qualification alongside and if appropriate an English or maths qualification. The topics will help to increase student skills through practising independence, employability skills, and their personal health and wellbeing. Students will focus on skills needed for their individual development which have been expressed in their EHCP Outcomes and initial college-based assessments.

There is an opportunity to spend two years in this pathway developing further independent skills before progressing.

The course consists of appropriate maths and English qualifications and an accredited employability qualification at Level 1.

On the course students will have the opportunity to improve upon their independent skills, key work skills, become confident users of public transport, complete relevant work experience, and engage in the College’s core programme aimed at learning about the world around them.

The course runs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday with Tuesday being a work experience day.
