Criteria for access
Gateshead College will consider applicants with a range of moderate to severe difficulties, and other young people who may require additional support for their learning.
Foundation Learning is designed to help young people with a learning difficulty or special training needs to become more confident and independent and prepare them for further study or work.
Some courses are general - individuals study a range of subjects based on their learning needs, and then decide which area they like the most. Other courses are more specific to subject areas.
