Support that fits

Agree the right arrangements.

We offer one-to-one and group work, online and face to face. The format depends on the learner, the service and the arrangements agreed; not every programme is available in every format.

What we can discuss

  • Your goals, existing skills and experience of learning.
  • The subjects or skills you want to focus on.
  • Delivery format, setting, timetable and any access or support needs.
  • Availability, costs and any qualification or assessment arrangements before you commit.

Qualification entry, assessment, exam arrangements and fees are agreed separately where relevant. An enquiry does not confirm funding, a place or a particular outcome.
