Foundation Certificates

For Entry Level

Students who get a few grade Es, Fs or Gs at GCSE, or whose time at school has been very difficult, so they don't have any GCSE grades at all, could well benefit from the Wyke Foundation Learning Programme. This is a full-time course for students who need a base from which to progress.

All students work towards Functional Skills / Certificates in Adult Literacy and Numeracy with IT functional skills alongside. In addition a number of entry level certificates are studied. It is aimed at those students who like to work in groups with a small number of staff to teach them. Students will be given a lot of individual support, and will be working at their own pace.

Past students on this course have gone on to do Level 1 and Level 2 courses, and some have even, over a couple of years or so, progressed to Level 3 courses.

For Level 1

If you get mostly grade Es, Fs and Gs at GCSEs, you could do a Level 1 course at Wyke and have the opportunity to improve your core skills in English, IT and Mathematics combined with some further qualifications at Level 1 and possibly level 2. Many students who do a Level 1 course move on to Level 2 in the following year.
