L3 OCN Getting to Grips with the Core Curricula - Supporting Learners with ESOL/Literacy
As part of our Skills for Life at Work Project we are able to offer 2 days of one-off training or one longer course free of charge to professionals delivering or supporting skills for life learning in the workplace through a Train to Gain contract. This is on the condition that you live or work in the South East of England and that assignments are submitted (non-submission will result in a charge of £100 being levied for the course). By registering on this course you agree to abide by these conditions.
Individuals who have already accessed their quota of training under this project or who do not fit into these criteria will be charged at £90 attendance (to include registration/accreditation).
