Cambridge Progression Awards English

These courses are available to start at any time, provided there are spaces available.  Please call us to add your name to the waiting list or enrol.  
 
Progression awards are for anyone wanting to make a first step into gaining a ‘bite-sized’ qualification before starting a full Functional Skills award, or who want to start learning whilst waiting for the next Functional Skills course to start. You will complete units in areas that you need to focus on most, so that you are ready to ‘hit the ground running’ when you start with Functional Skills. Each unit will take around 10 weeks to complete, and you can join courses at any time

We will make every effort to start, and complete, your course.  However, there are a range of circumstances which may prevent us from being able to deliver the advertised courses.  In the case of low class numbers, staff sickness, industrial action, severe weather conditions, or any circumstance which may affect the Health & Safety of staff or learners, we may decide to cancel a session or a whole course.

In these cases, we will refund learners for any complete missed sessions, or offer an extra session to complete a course.

Concessions may be available but evidence of entitlement to the benefits listed will be needed before concessions are applied.
