Do you wish you felt more confident at reading and writing? Would you like to improve your spelling, punctuation and grammar? Do you find dealing with numbers and making calculations difficult? Would you like to get to grips with maths? We can help you be clearer about things like food labels, dealing with banks, interest rates and bills.
If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then joining a group at Platform may be useful to you.
We have a range of groups meeting at different times where you can work at your own pace and decide what you want to learn.
Our groups are small and informal. All students receive highly individual help and decide their own learning plan with the help of their tutor.
Take the plunge and enjoy having new skills.
Platform aims to provide you with good learning experiences which encourage you to decide what you want to learn and how you want to learn it. An important part of this process is guidance. For a friendly, informal chat about the courses on offer at Platform, contact Jennie on 458 5082.
Educational guidance gives you the chance to discuss and think about where you are at the moment, what you have done in the past and what you would like to achieve in the future.
We will try to give you relevant information, support you in finding out what you need to know and assist you in deciding how to achieve your aims.
This approach begins from the moment you come along to find out about Platform until you are ready to move on to other things. It includes:
checking out whether a particular group or course is the right one for you
dealing with any difficulties which may arise during the course
identifying other options at the end of the course
