English & Maths Workshops

You must have an interview before you enrol and then you will have an Initial Assessment and an Individual Learning Plan. The first three weeks are a period of assessment and your placement on an appropriate course will then be confirmed.
In the workshop you will work at your own pace to achieve your certificate of achievement. Accreditation is offered from Entry 1 to Level 2.
