Supporting Learners

Additional support to learn

We can give you extra support to help you to complete your course. We can provide a range of equipment such as:

• Hearing loops
• Magnifiers
• Computer software

We can provide support staff, for example:

• Communicators
• Learning support assistants

Support can also include help with:

• Writing - e.g. for course work
• Study skills
• English for Speakers of other Languages (ESOL)
• Dyslexia support
• Numeracy

If you would like support, please let us know when you book on your course or speak to your lecturer or centre staff at any time during your course.

Childcare

We run our own crèches for pre school children aged one and over at some of the daytime centres. As crèche places are limited, please book your place when you enrol on your course. The crèches are free, but there is a charge for refreshments.

The Learner Support Fund

The Learner Support Fund (LSF) helps learners who can demonstrate financial hardship. This includes learners on an income-based benefit or those on a low income. Help may be available for course fees, course books and materials, exam fees and accreditation costs, contact any CLaSS centre for further details.
