Life and Independent Living Skills (CC) (25/26)

This course is designed to facilitate the development of your independent living skills within your local communities. LILS encourages you to explore and enhance your skills and knowledge in key elements of moving into adulthood including independent living, healthy living, relationships and communities, and employability.

There are no formal entry requirements for this programme, however you must have an EHCP and must demonstrate that you are working at Entry Level 1 in English and maths at a minimum.

You will undertake a range of practical, classroom, and community based activities. Your achievement is tracked and assessed using RARPA (Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement).You will be given your own individualised learning targets which are developed based on your EHCP outcomes and the Preparing for Adulthood agenda. Where appropriate, you will also be given the opportunity to work towards Functional Skills English and maths qualifications.

This programme is designed to facilitate the development of your independent living skills within your local communities. LILS encourages you to explore and enhance your skills and knowledge in key elements of moving into adulthood including independent living, healthy living, relationships and communities, and employability. LILS is aimed at learners with a learning difficulty/disability who are working at an academic level between Entry 1 and Entry 3. The aim of LILS is to help students to become independent within their local communities, therefore when considering which campus students wish to study at we highly recommend that students consider where they live (e.g. Somer Valley LILS is aimed at students who live in Radstock, Midsomer Norton and the surrounding areas, and City Centre LILS is aimed at students who live in Bath and the surrounding areas). However, we also welcome applications from learners outside of BANES and we consider each application on a case-by-case basis and will ensure that students study at the campus which is absolutely right and appropriate for them and their individual needs.

On completion of this course, you may progress into other routes that could include PET, Step Up, wider college Level 1 programmes, or Project Search.

No additional costs.
