The main aim is to gain new skills, enhance your potential for learning and raise your aspirations whilst making informed choices about future progression routes.
You will gain specific and transferable skills whilst on the course and develop your confidence and resilience, decision-making and employability skills in a supportive environment. You will have the opportunity to trial different curriculum areas and be encouraged in making informed choices for your future progression.
