Personalised support programmes

We can work with you before you’re a student with us, to make sure the right support is in place for you. We can work with your school and/or any external agencies.

We’ll give you the help and support you need to achieve your goals. We support 1000s of students every year across each of our centres.

Our highly-qualified team arrange support packages personalised to individual needs.

Supported internship programmes

Supported internships are year-long study programmes for young people aged 18-24 with learning difficulties or autism. They include classroom and workplace learning, 9am-4pm over 4 or 5 days a week, and are designed to help students find paid employment.

Our DFN Project SEARCH and Internship programmes are designed to teach young people the essential skills they need for paid employment through workplace learning. Alongside their time with the employer, students follow a personalised study programme which includes studying for a qualification and, where appropriate, English and Maths.
