Progression into Independence

This is a Pathways (SEND) course for students who may find transitioning to college challenging. This could be for a variety of reasons, such as anxiety or autism. This programme is aimed at students who are at Pre-entry Level to Level 2.

All Pathways (SEND) programmes include a variety of subjects. This includes English, communication skills, maths, IT, personal and social development, vocational training, work experience, independent living and tutorial sessions.

You will have a personal tutor who will review your learning objectives and set you targets. These will link to your Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and other planned outcomes.

You will receive specialised, targeted support. We offer small group sizes, learning assistant support and specialist teachers.

If you want to gain employment, live a more independent life or progress to higher-level study, you will get support to achieve your goals.

As a City of Bristol College student, you may incur additional costs to attend your course. For example, it is likely you may need to pay for travel and stationery. 

Many courses offer learning opportunities that you may need to pay for. This may include things like study visits and visiting speakers. We will let you know in advance if there will be additional costs.

If you are on a limited income, you may be able to receive help from our Learner Support Funding Bursary.
