The building blocks for learning
Skills for Life are the key building blocks for learning, made up of communication, literacy, numeracy and ICT.
We all use them to differing degrees in different situations, and sometimes just improving a little bit in one area can make a big difference to your options for the future.
Treloar College offers you a range of opportunities to develop these skills, and we’ve even won a DfES Pathfinder Award for our Skills for Life teaching.
Once you’ve had your assessment, you can work on your Skills for Life in a variety of ways. We offer:
- lessons in communication, literacy and numeracy
- workshops or 1:1 support focused on individual skills
- additional support in the classroom or Learning Resource Centre
- integrated courses where communication, literacy and numeracy are linked with your main area of study
- a range of practical activities to help you develop your Skills for Life within the College and the local community
- English as a second language
- dyslexia screening and support.
