Learning and Disability Support
Whatever your learning needs, we're here to help you succeed. Our personalised support ensures you have the tools, guidance and adjustments you need to thrive throughout your apprenticeship.
Learning Support
Everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve their potential through education. That's why we provide tailored support for learners with disabilities, learning difficulties and additional learning needs.
From the moment you join us, you'll be supported by a dedicated Additional Curriculum Officer (ACO), who will work with you to understand your individual needs and create a personalised support plan. Together, we'll ensure you have the right adjustments in place so you can learn with confidence and reach your goals.
Support may include tailored learning plans, one-to-one sessions, smaller group learning, additional time for assessments, modified assessment materials, assistive technology, and other reasonable adjustments. Every learner is different, so we'll work with you to provide the support that's right for you.
As a proud Disability Confident employer, The Colleges' Partnership is committed to creating an inclusive learning environment where everyone has the opportunity to flourish.
Inclusive Entry Requirements for Apprenticeships
To make sure we stick to our promise of education for everyone, we’ve made some adjustments. The minimum maths and English requirements for Entry Level 3 qualifications have been lowered for people with disabilities or learning difficulties. This way, we’re able to support learners who meet the occupational standard of their apprenticeship, but struggle to achieve the requirements for maths and English.
We encourage apprentices with disabilities or learning difficulties to try to achieve level 1 or 2 in maths and English if they feel they can. We’ll be here with you, every step of the way, offering as much support as you need.
We’re proud to be a Disability Confident employer.
