Home › Foundation Studies
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 and English on each of the courses.
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.
