What will I be learning

This course is about becoming more independent.
On the course you will work on,
improving your everyday maths skills such as using money and time.
You will also work on improving your everyday English skills,
building your confidence,
staying safe at home and in the community, and
getting involved in your local community.

Your tutor will help you to think about the skills you already have, and those you need to develop. Together, you will make a plan of the skills you need, and identify how you can do this.
The course will also involve taking part in practical activities and trips out to support your learning.

How will I be assessed and supported

At the beginning of your course, you will talk to the tutor about why you have chosen this course and what you want to be able to do. During the course, you will use an Individual Learning Plan, to review your progress towards these targets with your tutor. Each week, you will be asked to think about what has gone well and what you need to work on next. Your tutor will give you feedback on this as well.
Throughout the course, your tutor will talk to you about your progress, and every term you will have a short meeting with your tutor.
If you need help to read and write, your tutor or a support worker will help you with this.

What do I need to bring?

You will need to bring a pen and paper.

Any additional costs?
