Overview

Life and Living Skills qualifications provide learners with high quality, nationally recognised qualifications. They are credit-based qualifications that provide valuable opportunities for individuals to develop skills, gain underpinning knowledge and understanding and offer opportunities for learners to progress to higher level units.

The entry level qualifications in life and living skills aim to develop confidence, self-esteem and independence in life and work skills. Learners cover a mixture of vocational and creative skills, as well as continuing to improve the literacy and numeracy skills required for everyday life.

There are no formal entry requirements for this course. However, entry onto the programme requires a pre-enrolment assessment by a Personal Tutor and Learning Support member of staff.
In supporting students with learning difficulties and disabilities, SRC will work in partnership with other local agencies including the Health and Social Care Trust Teams, Education Authority (EA), schools and other relevant stakeholders as appropriate.
Students who require personal or medical care services whilst studying at College will need to arrange this through their local health trust or social services department.
Where the student is likely to require significant reasonable adjustment and/or one which raises health and safety issues that must be considered, the College must follow risk assessment procedures prior to confirming enrolment.
While Colleges will endeavour at all times to meet the needs of students with learning difficulties and disabilities, parents/carers and other stakeholders must accept that there may be occasions when College provision is unable to address the needs of that student.
