All College students study Functional Skills; whichever programme they opt for. These are essential skills in English, maths and ICT which you need to take you onto Higher Education, or into employment, whatever your goal may be.
As well as Functional Skills, all students will study Personal Learning and Thinking Skills. These are designed to create a broad spectrum of learning, giving all the qualities an employer or university will be looking for. Personal Learning and Thinking Skills will make sure you are:
- an independent enquirer
- a creative thinker
- a reflective learner
- a team worker
- a self-manager
- an effective participant
