Course Summary
Level 2 Foundation Year: This pathway is for students who have the capability of progressing to study Level 3 courses but need a further year at Level 2. Courses will include the opportunity to resit GCSE English/Maths (or an equivalent), work experience along with other Level 2 qualifications to prepare students for the progression to Level 3. Completion of a Foundation Year will typically result in a further two years in the Sixth Form or students may progress to another provider for alternative courses.
