Additional Learning Support

We want our courses are accessible to everyone.

If you need additional help and support to successfully complete your course, let us know when you enrol. We’ll take the steps needed to make sure this extra provision is in place for you.

Our tutors teach using a variety of methods using all learning styles, and you'll receive an individual learning plan that will identify what you wish to achieve on the course. Tutors assess your progress throughout the course and you'll be be given opportunities to reflect upon what you have learned.

Did you know you can visit your local inspire library for resources to support your learning? As well as books, newspapers and journals, there's bookable computers, free WiFi, quiet study spaces, printing and photocopying. Check out what's available at your local library.

What will I need to bring with me to the course?

You may need to bring some resources with you to some of our courses (e.g. flower arranging and baby massage) but if this is the case your tutor or an Inspire member of staff will be in touch with you to let you know what you need to bring. Please bring your pens, pencils and note paper to take any notes.

You'll need to provide evidence of your benefit status to qualify for fee remission - we'll tell you how to do this at the time of booking. For more information on whether you qualify, please see our Fees Policy or call Ask Inspire on 01623 677 200.

Will any additional help be available if I need it?

If you need additional help and support to successfully complete your course, this will be assessed and steps taken to make sure that this extra provision is in place. It would be useful if you could let us know if you may have any additional support needs when you book onto the course.

What will I be able to do after my course has finished?

During your course, you'll have access to impartial advice and guidance, with support and sign-posting to appropriate 'next steps', such as other courses or volunteering opportunities. Some courses will offer natural a progression - for instance, our language courses are designed for different levels of experience, and you'll be able to move up from beginner to expert over time!

Some of our accredited courses offer a specific pathway into higher education and further qualifications.
