Accessing College & Education (ACE)

One year

Entry Requirements

This is a full-time transition course designed for students who need a highly-supportive environment in which to learn.

You must already be at Level P5 or above before joining. Alternatively entry requirements are subject to interview assessment. You must be willing to take part in new learning opportunities and to improve your literacy, numeracy and social skills. You should also be committed to furthering your education.

Course Content

ACE is designed to develop your social skills and work skills, preparing you for independent living, so it covers a broad range of subjects. You’ll study English, Maths and ICT, work-related skills and Independent Living Skills.

You’ll be taught in small groups and you will be set targets to achieve. Both your targets and your progress will be monitored regularly in tutorial sessions.

We’ll assess your individual needs at your initial interview, and if necessary, will arrange additional support to help you achieve your learning goals.

Next Step

You may be able to progress to other Supported Learning courses, or on to Foundation Learning programmes, work-based training, or employment.
