Transition Learning

Our Transition Learning programmes are designed to support young people  who may need extra time, structure, or guidance before progressing to further study, employment, or apprenticeships. These tailored courses provide a vital stepping stone for learners who are not yet ready to move directly into a full Level 2 or Level 3 qualification.

Flexible

Transition Learning offers a flexible and supportive environment where students can build confidence, improve core skills such as English and maths, and explore vocational pathways that match their interests and strengths.

Learner Centered

Our approach is inclusive and learner-centred. Whether a student is re-engaging with education, changing direction, or simply needs more time to prepare for their next step, our Transition Learning offer ensures they are supported every step of the way.

Helping you find your path

By the end of the programme, learners are equipped not only with essential skills and recognised qualifications, but also with the confidence and clarity needed to take their next steps. Whether that’s progressing onto a higher-level course, securing meaningful employment, or starting an apprenticeship. Transition Learning is designed to unlock potential and remove barriers, offering a personalised and supportive route into further education or the workplace.
