Foundation Learning - ‘Welcome to Learning’
Some young people may be undecided about their future and may benefit from joining ‘Welcome to Learning’. Welcome to Learning learners are given the opportunity to try a range of vocational tasters whilst improving their maths or English and developing their personal and social skills and qualities.

Welcome to Learning is a ‘non-accredited’ programme that usually lasts about 10 weeks and includes a range of fun activities and all the usual benefits enjoyed by all learners studying at the college. All learners have an Individual Learning Plan and progression is usually into one of the Foundation Learning Vocational Courses offered at the college
