What does it offer?

Study Plus offers:

  • Gateway Award in Employability Skills (Level 1)
  • Smaller classes in community settings
  • Life skills programme
  • Individual support to reach your goals
  • Information, advice and guidance for your next steps

Please note that for the remainder of the academic year 2020-21, we will not be offering an English Functional Skills qualification to those enrolled on the Study Plus programme for 16 to 19 year olds (19-24 with an EHCP).

Instead, we will continue to embed these skills within our wider curriculum.

We've received extra money from the 16-19 Tuition Fund to provide additional tuition for some of our Study Plus learners, to help them catch up on any learning or gaps in knowledge as a result of COVID-19.


What skills and qualities do I need?

  • Aged 16-19 (or 20 - 24 with a current EHCP)
  • Maths and English skills around Entry Level 3 or above
  • A working knowledge of ICT and understanding of Employability skills at the equivalent of Entry Level 3 or above
  • Able to commit to a minimum of 16 hours study per week across 3 days
  • Able to maintain a minimum of 85% attendance
  • Able to complete independent home learning.


Where will I be located?

Study Plus is located in Stevenage, however the course will take place online and via socially distanced face-to-face tutorials.
