Overview

The Department of Supported Learning offers a range of Life Skills courses designed to help learners build confidence, independence, and essential everyday skills for life and work.

Available at SCQF Levels 1 to 3, these full-time courses provide a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students can develop their current skills. They form an important part of our post-school transition pathway, which focuses on developing independence and preparing learners for adult life.

Through a blend of classroom learning, community engagement, and real-life experiences, students develop personal, social, and practical skills that prepare them for independent living, volunteering, or further study.

In addition to our post-school programmes, we also offer a variety of additional courses designed to enhance existing independence, employability, and volunteering skills.

Once we receive your application, you will be invited to attend an interview. If successful at interview our staff will then work with you to identify the most suitable course, and if a place is available, you will receive a formal offer of study.
