Workplace skills

Maths, English and IT are essential skills for the workplace and for life. If you haven’t achieved a GCSE in maths or English (or equivalent) previously, our courses are completely free.

We will break down barriers to learning and support you with these essential qualifications to achieve your goals!

Blended Learning

Our courses are delivered in the classroom. However, for those who may find it difficult to attend on some occasions we offer blended learning which will allow you to complete up to 20% of your course from home via remote sessions and independent study. Your tutor can discuss with you your individual circumstances to agree the best option for you.
