What are the Preparing for Adulthood programmes?
These courses have been developed for learners with a range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
This range of certificated programmes provides a real-life context to reward achievement and foster the personal, social and work-related abilities of all learners.
Addressing SEND areas of need
