Foundation Learning
Aimed at those who would benefit from learning within a supported environment. We focus on progressing students so they become confident individuals.
Academic (A-Levels)

Offering a variety of levels from 1 – 3 this is a great way for students to progress through education. With the Level 3 courses being equivalent to A-Levels they are also a good way for students to develop the skills needed to succeed both at university and in the workplace.
