EXPANDING HORIZONS

We believe further education should be accessible to everybody. Whether you’re an existing student here, studying elsewhere, or you are a parent assisting your child with what to do next, you are invited to be part of it.

Why Skills Development

We offer a range of well-established courses for young people and adults with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. Some of these courses are linked to community organisations and other agencies and our staff are experienced and skilled at assessing potential students and meeting their needs through individual learning plans.

Our campus at Kings Road provides a safe, enjoyable and supportive environment for learning, as well as the opportunity to mix and become part of our diverse learning community.
