Foundation Programmes

If you do not meet the entry requirements to join one of our Level 2 vocational courses when you leave school, and you need to develop your personal and social skills, our Foundation Learning courses will serve as a stepping stone to further study, training and employment.

You will be able to explore a range of vocational subjects and jobs, gain practical experiences and skills, and improve your English, Maths and personal skills. These courses will open up new opportunities and help you to achieve your potential and your goals.
