Quick Start

Students will gain the confidence they need to take the next step by strengthening their skills in reading, writing, maths and computers in a supportive environment. Our Quick Start classes are friendly, fun and innovative, with everyone made to feel comfortable. Students can come as they are, and leave with what they need.

This programme is for those who:

  • Have been away from learning for a while.
  • Want to improve their writing, reading or maths skills.
  • Want to gain skills to assist them to move to other training programmes to gain a qualification.

Graduates from this course can enter into Level 1 courses or employment.
