What is a Foundation Learning programme?
Foundation Learning has been created to help you progress to level 2 — GCSE grades A* to C or equivalent — and into employment. This programme may be suitable if you are working at entry level or level 1.
It allows you to work at your own pace to get the skills and qualifications you need to succeed. Through Foundation Learning, you can get Awards, Certificates and Diplomas. You will study a specific subject or job, personal and social development and functional skills — English, IT and maths.
More information about Foundation Learning including printable information sheets is available in the Education section.
When you have completed your Foundation Learning programme, you can:
- get a job
- apply for an Apprenticeship, or
- go on to a full time course at a local college or sixth form.
