Our accredited qualifications offer the skills and knowledge learners and employers are looking for to upskill and gain knowledge for their future careers.
At York Learning our students feel well supported throughout their programme of learning:
- Our Learning and Skills Tutors will make regular visits to the workplace (when possible) as well as remaining in contact via Zoom, Skype, telephone or email.
- Candidates can start our courses at any time throughout the year and will be assigned a tutor for 1-1 support throughout their qualification, even in these unprecedented times.
- All our students have Individual Learning Plans which meet their own unique needs.
- We have an annual ‘Graduation Ceremony’ for all students. Level 5 students are eligible to wear a ‘Cap and Gown’ at this ceremony. Look out for the graduation cap against the relevant courses.
- Support is available for learners with learning disabilities or difficulties (LLDD).
- Depending on the level candidates would like to work towards and their age, their qualification could be fully funded by the government. For some qualifications, there might be a charge. If there is a charge and your staff member is 19 or over and on an eligible qualification, an Advanced Learner Loan could help them.
- Information, advice and guidance is given throughout the programme to ensure students know the options available to them at the end of the course.
