Overview

This course is designed for both young people and mature students with severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties. The scheme includes a range of personal, social and practical skill areas containing 'bite-size' modules that allow students to build a profile of achievement best suited to their individual needs and skills.

The course offers maximum flexibility as students have the option of achieving as many or as few modules as are appropriate to their individual needs. Each module is free from any barriers that restrict access or progression.

The scheme contains ten skill areas that are intended to provide an accreditation structure. There are four key skill areas and six life and living skill areas:

Key skill areas

• Communication
• Numeracy
• ICT
• Personal Skills.

Life and Living skill areas

• The Community
• Creative Arts
• The Environment
• Home Management

• World of Work.
