What further after study opportunities will be available after completion?

After completing the Pathways Programme, you will have flexible progression options. You may advance to a Level 1 programme in subjects such as Art, Business or Health & Social Care, or choose a Level 1 Certificate in Pathways to build more experience and confidence. If a more work based practical route is favoured, our Supported Internship Program may be the preferred route.

As part of your personalised learning plan, we will align your goals with the right progression route, ensuring you have the support and guidance to explore a wide range of future opportunities.
