It is perfect for learners who have not yet made their mind up about which subject they would like to study and to boost their English and maths skills. On successful completion of the course, learners can progress to a L1 qualification in their chosen sector. NB At our Cheadle campus learners will explore through a sector related project a vocational area of interest, with an opportunity to gain work experience inhouse/external within the occupational area.
