Our team of friendly and experienced tutors will support you to succeed. Our Foundation Learning provision is delivered at both campuses and is available to students aged 16-19 years old (25 if an Education Health Care Plan, EHCP, is in place). All students are given the chance to visit employers such as Birmingham Airport and Birmingham City Football Club during the course, plus guest speakers are invited to offer a real connection to real people in the real world on community issues.

Access to Further Education

The students on our Access to Further Education courses often progress onto Level 1 or 2 courses within the College. Our provision is designed to ease the transition into further education (FE) and offer an insight into what college is like.
Students study a varied timetable whilst taking qualifications in English, maths and vocational studies with other timetabled sessions seeing tasters of different vocational areas delivered throughout the year.
