Carmel College aims to offer provision for students with moderate learning difficulties to improve the skills and competences that they will need in adult life. Mencap’s Essential Skills Course is taught in small group sizes and is tailored to meet the student’s individual needs.
Students studying the course will follow a full timetable from 8.50 am to 3.55 pm with a 1.00pm finish on Fridays.
There are 3 curriculum strands to the course at 3 levels of attainment:-
Daily Living Skills
Community and Leisure
Practical and Vocational Skills
Students with learning difficulties often learn best through real activities and practical tasks of relevance and interest to them. The course will provide students with opportunities to improve their skills and reach their potential enabling them to progress successfully onto the next stage in their life with increased confidence and self-esteem.
