Foundation Learning

If you are aged 14-19 and need more time to gain confidence and qualifications, Foundation Learning could be for you. Foundation Learning is a new, flexible way of learning, so if you have struggled with more traditional classroom learning and would prefer to learn skills that will help you in the world of work then Foundation Learning could be for you.

What would I do on Foundation Learning?

You would do a mix of:

• Practical English, maths and ICT, focusing on skills you will need in real life (functional skills).
• Work-related courses to give you skills and experience that will be useful to an employer.
• Courses to help you build personal, social and employability skills.

Can I get qualifications on Foundation Learning?

You will be able to gain nationally recognised qualifications at entry level and level 1 to help you move on to level 2 learning.

How long do Foundation Learning programmes last?

Foundation Learning is tailored to suit you and lasts as long as you need to develop the skills and confidence to move on to higher level learning.

Your programme will be completed when you are ready to move on to learning at level 2. Depending on your starting point you could progress within 2-3 months. Some people may require a longer programme.
