The lecturers are either from the Learning Difficulties and Disabilities section or specialist subject staff. Students will have the assistance of qualified support staff to ease their passage around College, and to follow individual programmes to meet their needs. Students will be asked to provide files, writing equipment and suitable clothing for sport. A small expenditure will be needed to cover cooking which takes place on a weekly basis and occasional trips which enhance different parts of the programme. A specialist form of assessment has been created to monitor students throughout their time in College to ensure the main aims of the course are fulfilled.
Close contact is made with the home environment and with local agencies.
The main aim of the course is to encourage independence. Previous students have been able to take their place alongside other students and in the outside environment, eg in the workplace. The course is an extension to the education the student received at school with the opportunity to experience many of the College facilities. The course is currently being reviewed and is subject to change.
