Progression in Preparing for Adulthood - (Trans X Plus) (Entry Level 3/Level 1)

The Progression in Preparing for Adulthood course at Level 1 is for students who are starting to think about their future goals. This is suitable for any student who is working at Entry Level 3/Level 1, has an EHCP or needs extra support in their learning. The Progression in Preparing for Adulthood course at Entry Level 3 is for students who are starting to think about their future goals. This is suitable for any student who is working at Entry Level 2/3, has an EHCP or needs extra support in their learning. This course is also for students who need to improve their communication, confidence and independence skills. They build a progressive understanding of health, community inclusion, independent living and employment skills, which are included in EHCP outcomes. Lessons are interactive and incorporate a mix of practical and written activities. All students will also study Maths and English Functional Skills at the appropriate level. The skills learnt will be embedded in the delivery of the main qualification.

There are no prior skills, knowledge or understanding requirements for these qualifications. However, learners will benefit from having functional skills, at least at one level below that of the qualification (e.g. at least Entry 3 for the Level 1 qualifications and Entry Level 2/3. for the entry level qualifications).

The level 1 qualifications have been designed to enable recognition of sector specific vocational learning and more generic employability skills. Vocational areas such as hospitality and catering, sport and leisure, retail and land-based areas will be included in the units of study alongside employability skills. These units also link in with the Preparing for Adulthood outcomes and give students a taste of different vocational subjects. Emphasis is placed on students acquiring key skills to progress in their academic journey and/or to understand more about being independent. Students will learn how to plan for the future, set goals for themselves and understand how these can be achieved. Students will also apply knowledge gained during the year when taking part in their bespoke work experience programme. The entry level qualification allows students to develop the skills most relevant to them, as they prepare for or make the most of adult life. They are able to combine employability, personal and social and learning skills, as appropriate, to create a highly personalised package to meet their individual needs, whether their primary focus is on progression to employment, independent living, further learning or a combination of these. Units studied include healthy eating, managing money, being a householder, cooking, planning a trip and employability skills, to name a few.
