Foundation Studies
14 courses -
Foundation Studies is the name for qualifications at Entry and Level 1. It is designed to create clear progression routes through Entry and Level 1 to Level 2. You will study personal and social development, vocational development and Maths, English and ICT on each of the courses.
Take a look at our easy to read Life Skills Course Overview.
Foundation Studies allows you to build a course based on your own needs, personal interest and career choice and will include team-building activities, work experience and tasters in vocational areas to help you take the first step towards your future.
Each course is linked directly to a progression pathway which allows the learners a very clear understanding of where their course will take them.
Lecturer
Becky says... Most of my experience has been working with students with significant barriers to learning and I thrive on the challenge of making my classroom a place students can achieve in and want to return to.

Lecturer
Gaynor says... The success of these young adults, academically, emotionally and socially is the reason I enjoy this role so much. Seeing the learners grow in confidence throughout the year and watching them reach their goals, despite any obstacles in their way, gives me a sense of pride.
