We offer individual support to learners and we welcome applications from young people who may not have had a positive school experience. Our small class sizes and determination to provide you with individual support has contributed to our excellent progression levels. Over 75% of our learners move on to additional learning or employment when they complete their time with us.
We offer individual work placements as well as group community projects for learners to gain valuable employability skills and make a positive contribution to the community.
