Get the basics – Key and Basic Skills

We have found that many adults who study at college often need a little extra help with their English and maths.

How can The Manchester College help me?

At The Manchester College we feel that it is important to provide students with this help before they start their chosen course to ensure that they get the most out of their learning experience.

All of our students benefit from undergoing an initial assessment that helps to identify any learning difficulties so that we can then provide them with any extra support they might need alongside their main course of study.

What could this route lead to?

Students who receive support in English and maths often find that their confidence increases so much so that they want to sit online tests leading to nationally recognised Skills for Life qualifications. Many of our students have found that such qualifications have played a significant role in enhancing their prospects of finding the job they want.
