Overview top
The Pre Access programme is designed for adults who wish to return to education and who currently do not hold GCSE Maths and English Grade A-C or equivalent levels.

The course is designed to provide an introduction to working in a number of sectors, whilst also developing more generic employability skills designed to build confidence and help adults return to education.
