The Learner Journey

Your tutor will talk to you about what you would like to achieve/get out of the course and work with you to agree your specific learning objectives.
Your progress will be assessed by you and your tutor, who will regularly feedback your developments to you.
Whether you are working towards a recognised qualification or a personal learning aim, your achievement will be recorded at the end of the course.
You may wish to progress onto another level or another course. Your tutor and our team will be able to advise you of the best course for you.
