Course Overview
Preparation for Learning is a short Level 2 course designed to equip you with the skills needed to successfully complete assignments at a higher level.
The course has been created to assist students to develop the skills that are essential for successful academic study. Learning for Progression is structured to give you a general introduction into the world of further education, thus enabling you to choose realistic progression routes.
Please note that completion of the short Preparation for Learning course does not mean automatic progression onto the year long Level 3 Access course. Students should ensure that their existing skills are sufficient to be able to cope with the demands of a Level 2 course.
