All students are interviewed by the Tutor and will have an assessment to ensure suitability for the course.

Commitment

Students are expected to have independent skills and be able to cope within the main college environment. There is a member of staff on duty at break times, but students are free to access all parts of the college independently or leave the building.

Following these courses students may go on to supported or independent employment, to supported living or to ALDD part time courses.
