During enrolment all student have a relaxed chat with a staff member who will work through a traffic light form and risk assessment to ensure we are fully meeting learners needs and allocate learners into the best groups that match personality and levels. All learners sit a math and English assessment so that we have an accurate record of the level the learner is working at and both the learner and tutor can work towards achieving the next level.

At Liberty, all learners must be enrolled on functional skills to be eligible. If learners have already achieved GCSE grade 4 or equivalent in both maths and English, we will not be able to enrol them.

Liberty work with both EHCP (aged 16-24) and Non EHCP (aged 16-19) learners.

Some learners chose to progress onto college from us, some use the skills and qualifications gained to progress onto an apprenticeship or employment. Learners are also given the option to remain with us and progress onto Liber8, our Level 2 course. At Liberty we will continue to work with our learners so that they can all achieve their goals.
