Learning for Life

The course is personalised to each student using a baseline assessment. Students will create a portfolio of evidence to support their skill building throughout the course.

This course can lead to students progressing into supported living, in partnership with adult social care.

Students who demonstrate continued progression in their individual targets can go onto our Skills for Work and LEAP courses or be able to learn skills for work.

This course is free of charge for all students who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) to the age of 24 years and for other young people with a high level of need to the age of 19 years.

Alongside the work experience placement, students can gain skills by taking part in our Community Weeks. These are opportunities where we work with local charities and organisations to help and support our local community.

We also run trips and events throughout the year at EKC Canterbury College, which students on our Foundation and Inclusive Learning courses can be a part of.

. There may be a small charge for non-curricular activities.

Duration: One year.
