Practical workshops combine staff expertise and equipment to provide a broad range of skills.
This programme is particularly suitable if you have an idea you wish to develop with a view to setting up your own business or if you would like general training in manufacture which can be applied in a variety of industries including small craft workshops. Picture framing is more suitable for those with some residual vision, whilst the woodturning and rounder furniture modules are suitable for those with little or no sight. The college retail outlets enable students to gain experience of dealing with the general public as customers for their work. The programme includes the opportunity to develop a business plan in addition to Literacy, Numeracy, Information Technology, Mobility and Braille according to individual needs.
