This course is for pupils with additional support needs or who have a learning barrier and are considering attending college after leaving school.
The course is part-time and runs for 18 weeks. It is aimed at pupils working at SCQF levels 1-2 and who attend a special school, or a mainstream school with significant levels of support in place.
We run this course at our Milton Road and Sighthill campuses (Tuesday and Thursday mornings).
