The Essential Skills of Literacy, Numeracy, Language [where English is not your first language] and computer literacy are of the greatest importance in helping you get and keep a worthwhile job.

 

We do not want any students to leave us without achieving a good standard in these Essential Skills. This is why we offer everybody a professional diagnostic service at the start of the course to see what support you will need while studying with us.

 

We are then able to tailor your support in these Essential Skills to suit your own needs. We have a range of specialist staff who will help you at all stages in your studies in these important areas. They are here to help YOU!
