(Next Steps)
Course outline
This programme focuses on preparing our learners for their future pathway, whether continuing with their academic development (college, foundation year, university) or getting them ready for work. As with all of our programmes, development of self-confidence, self esteem, social and communication skills is built in to everything we do.
NOTE: As each learner is an individual and may progress quicker or benefit from more time, we don’t restrict our programmes by age.
The Next Step Programme covers:
- UK-accredited ASDAN qualifications with a focus on work and independence
- The option to begin BTEC qualifications which are more specific to an industry (such as Hospitality and Catering, Sports Management)
- Internal internships with one of our in-house businesses (coffee shop, zero waste shop, business services centre)
- Learning transferable skills in preparation for the workplace/further education (conflict resolution, following instructions, motivation, organisation and time management, showing initiative)
- Becoming a peer mentor for the Life Skills programme and nurturing younger trainees.

How we teach the course
- If your family member is likely to continue on an academic path, we will equip them with the academic support and qualifications they need to move on in the future. We know that some learners benefit from a reduced academic schedule, having tasks broken down into smaller chunks, more visual instructions, and learn by doing opportunities to grasp concepts. These approaches are embedded into everything we do.
