This qualification is intended to be accessible to a wide range of learners of all abilities.

Learners can develop a ‘hands-on’ approach to their learning and gain practical skills, knowledge and understanding in a chosen vocational area(s). The skills, knowledge and understanding gained may help learners prepare for work through real or simulated work situations and may contribute to preparing them for working life beyond education.

You will work in small groups and complete a range of practical and creative activities to help you get used to the College environment and the expectations of the academic level and criteria you will need to meet in order to progress further.
