Course programme
This course is for students with Higher Functioning Autism / Aspergers Syndrome who are ready to move onto a Level 1 course. It has been designed to aid the transition between school and college and to help you adjust to the changes involved. We particularly work on developing communication and social skills, with strategies to enable progress in education and personal development. There is a strong element of tutorial support underpinning the course.
The programme consists of the study of English, Maths, ICT, Personal and Social Development, Independent Living and Employability Skills. There is a range of vocational elements that include:
- Art and Design
- Outdoor Pursuits
- Cookery
- Enterprise
There is also comprehensive enrichment elements built into the programme and an opportunity for some students to undertake a work experience placement or supported internship.
English and maths are an essential part of your studies and will help you succeed on your course. These subjects help you develop confidence and are key employability skills that recruiting employers look for. If you have not achieved GCSE grade C or above in English and Maths you will need to continue studying these subjects. We will ensure you have the right lessons and support to improve your English and maths.
