A key requirement for future progression and employment is a good understanding and application of knowledge and skills in both English and maths. Learners who are enrolled on this course will also, as part of their overall programme of study, be enrolled on GCSE?English and Maths in order to progress towards gaining GCSE grade 4 in both subjects.

We aim to provide you with the skills required to be able to progress into further study and training or employment upon completion of your programme of study. Key attributes required by employers are that individuals be enthusiastic, motivated, presentable (in some instances in company uniform), organised, articulate,?able to?think 'outside the box',?business-like and enterprising, and that they have a 'can-do' attitude. We work on all these areas throughout the duration of your programme of study, and your tutor(s) will provide feedback on progress made, as well as areas for development.

As well as having a keen interest in the subject area, learners will need to possess GCSE grade 3 in both English and Maths. Learners will need to be committed, punctual and demonstrate an enthusiasm for learning and taking on new ideas and skills.

Learners who successfully complete the programme can either gain an apprenticeship, enter the industry or continue with their studies through to Level 3.
