What are foundation learning courses?
Foundation Learning courses combine practical and vocational experience and personal development opportunities with basic English, maths and ICT at entry level and level 1 of the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF). The QCF shows how all qualifications fit together, and how one level can lead to another. Foundation Learning can be for both young people and adults. These programmes of study will help you to develop the skills needed for adult and working life. Foundation Learning will provide a framework of small stepping stones to recognise your achievements and to help you plan your progression to level 2 qualifications, such as GCSEs at grades A*- C, an NVQ level 2, an Apprenticeship or a Diploma.
Confidence and independence for everyday life
On a Foundation Learning course you would work on a personalised learning programme based on the core areas of functional skills Such as English, maths and ICT. These will give you the skills to work independently and confidently during everyday life.
