Foundation Learning
Greenbank College offers two levels of pre-vocational study qualifications which are designed around practical skills and tasks that place an emphasis on learners demonstrating what they can do rather than what they know in theory:
- BTEC Entry Level 2 in Pre-Vocational Study
- BTEC Entry 3 to Vocational Study
These qualifications give learners the opportunity to acquire and develop generic and transferable skills in order to complete tasks and demonstrate a level of achievement at:
- Entry Level 2, which enables them to further develop their independent living skills, progress to supported volunteering and employment programmes or progress to further learning at Entry Level 3.
- Entry Level 3, which enables them to progress to supported employment programmes (supported internships) or progress to further learning at Level 1 providing that they have achieved Entry Level 3 standard in their English and Maths to support this progression.
All of these qualifications have two mandatory units:
- Skills for Learning and Life
- Team Challenge
They also have numerous optional units which the tutor can choose from to enable the learner to develop a range of different transferable and generic skills to support their personal development and confidence and positive learning progression. Some of these units are:
- Finding Out About a Topic
- Designing a Product
- Creating a Product
