Routes To Learning

Specifically designed for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who can follow instructions and routines, and who would like to develop their own independence and work skills.

Students will focus on developing their social awareness and ability to interact with others, including eating out, taking part in leisure activities, meeting with social groups and accessing community facilities. They'll focus on living skills such as how to shop, clean, and look after themselves, as well as using money and travelling independently.

Each aspect of the course will be tailored to the individual needs of our students, and will help them learn those essential English, Maths and life skills to make decisions about their next steps and work towards greater independence.

Work Experience is an optional part of the course and you will be supported in finding a work placement relevant to your study.

We'll help students to compile a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate the skills they have learnt, and they will also have to complete Functional Skills assessments in English and Maths.

After completing this Entry 2 Routes To Learning, there are a number of other courses available at The Manchester College, including Routes To Employment and Routes to Skills.

Students will also be able to advance onto a supported internship to gain more independent experience at work, and could also take advantage of various volunteering opportunities.
