About the course

The King’s Trust Achieve programme at Telford College is intended as a supportive year for students who leave secondary school (16-19) without the academic or social skills to progress to the next level of their subject specialism.

The programme can provide a platform for students to try new things, develop new skills or improve existing ones, building their self-esteem and self-belief while gaining a Level 1 or 2 qualification. The ‘Personal Development and Employability Skills’ curriculum recognises achievement with Ofqual recognised PDE qualifications issued by the King’s Trust.

This programme also gives the student a year to develop their maths and English to give them the opportunity to gain the grades needed to progress onto the next programme in their desired subject specialism.
