• what you need to work on to be more confident in everyday or new situations
for work, family or other settings.

• An opportunity to use or practise key skills in everyday life.

• Opportunities to be more confident by using key skills in new or different situations.

• The chance to get ready to start working towards a qualification by working on
the gaps or blocks you might have that hold you back.

• Teaching that is interesting, adult-friendly and that encourages you to learn by
thinking about and discussing your own ideas and opinions.

• Teaching that focusses on what you need for your everyday life.
