Is your child ready to build confidence and independence? Future Steps to Work helps them build life skills for daily life and supervised work roles.
If they thrive in small, supportive spaces, this course is for them. With one-to-one support from our expert teachers, they will gain independence for volunteer roles.
Why should they take this course?
This programme will help them take the next step towards an independent life and their next steps. The course will help them:
They don't need qualifications, but they do need an EHCP, as the course helps learners who need structure and personalised support.

We will invite them to a friendly interview to check if the course is right for them. This is a safe, no-pressure process. Everybody is welcome.
At this meeting, they will meet tutors and complete a short skills assessment.
There are no formal tests or exams only gentle, supportive conversations and simple tasks.
Our tutors then review the learners EHCP and chat with you, the parent or carer, to understand the learner's needs and build a personalised learning environment.
This course will help them prepare for volunteer roles or supported work and take steady steps towards independence.
Each module will build life skills for potential employment and independence, taking the next step towards a confident future.
They will receive personalised support. Every lesson is calm and structured to help them feel safe and ready to learn.
And our quiet learning spaces and break-out areas have low sensory distractions to help them focus.
They will have access to interactive screens and technology to help them get the most out of their learning experience regardless of barriers.
All teaching takes place in a small classroom, so they get individual attention and progress through the modules.
And instead of written tasks, they will learn through practical scenarios and group work to build confidence outside of the classroom.
Visual aids and step-by-step instructions help us guide each learner through the modules at their own pace, so nobody feels left behind.
Plus, we measure success differently at Bath College.
We observe, use portfolios, and measure milestones linked to EHCP, not assessments, to help them build confidence and routine.
