Training for Life (Foundation Learning)

This programme runs complementary to the courses Active Training students enroll on.  It is designed to assist adults and youth to learn to learn while identifying any gaps that they may have in foundation skills. While at Active Training it is an ideal time to take advantage of this programme and develop foundation skills.  These skills will help students address real life issues now and in the future.  Things like filling in application forms can be a daunting task for some people, this programme can help students develop the skills needed to confidently read and understand how to fill forms in correctly. Individual learning plans are designed for students that identify and then source activities to help improve on any needed areas of their foundation skills.  This may mean a student having a hearing or sight test; it depends solely on the individual students needs. The benefits students have identified as coming from this programme include: a higher self confidence and self esteem, the confidence to work through worrying issues and the confidence to communicate their view on various subjects.
