Access All Areas Programme
The Access All Areas (AAA) programme is designed to help young people with learning difficulties and disabilities improve skills and independence. Our tailored programme includes:
- Personal and emotional resilience
- Work placements
- Building confidence and self-esteem
- Independent living skills
- Health and safety
"I love my AAA course because it is a lot smaller, safer and the staff are much friendlier than at larger colleges. I enjoy the social side and meeting new friends - I feel like we are a huge family! My confidence has increased so much, I now volunteer once a week at a local church toddler group"

You may wish to progress on to a vocational course, Traineeship, Supported Internship, Apprenticeship or employment.
