The Skills for Life department is dedicated to improving the language, literacy and numeracy levels of young people and adults from pre-entry to the nationally recognised Level 2 qualification, which is showing functionality at GCSE C-A* grade.
Through our part-time programme, we aim to meet the needs of local communities, employers and individuals who seek to improve their Basic Skills (literacy and numeracy), and/or ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) language skills, in order to achieve their personal goals!
Adult Basic Skills/ESOL: This is a broad area of learning, delivering literacy numeracy and language programmes from Entry 1 to Level 2 (GCSE A* - C equivalent) on campus, in the community and in the workplace. All programmes are flexible and responsive in nature but with a clear focus on the achievement of national qualifications.
Adult Literacy and Numeracy Programmes: These programmes are delivered within the Skills for Life team.
