Supported Learning

At MidKent College in Kent, we offer a range of full and part-time pre-entry and entry level programmes for students who have additional learning needs.

Each student's learning needs are identified in an individual learning plan, with courses designed to suit different levels of ability and areas of interest.



A range of full and part-time courses is available. See further down the page for a list of part-time courses.

Full-time courses include:


    Supported Learning Towards Independence


Appropriate for learners with more complex learning needs who are seeking to develop greater independence skills. 

Students will work towards developing Work and Life Skills in communication, social skills, personal presentation and self-advocacy. Other areas covered will include money management, cooking, shopping and personal safety. Functional Skills in English, Maths and IT are also included in the curriculum.


    Supported Learning for Independent Living



Designed for young people who need additional time and support to develop independence skills. This may be due to a learning difficulty or the need to develop confidence before moving on.


    Foundation Learning Integration Programme


Perfect if you are unsure which vocational skills you would like to develop.

If you have a learning difficulty or need to build your confidence before progressing to mainstream college, the Skills for Working Life course allows you to learn at different entry levels, E2 and E3.
