We have run a number of successful courses supporting GNVQ work in colleges and schools and enabling evidence to be collected for a number of elements. A programme and Key Skills matrix are enclosed for a course run last year.

In addition we have run courses to support learning in GNVQ Leisure and Tourism, and GNVQ Science with appropriate activities and visits.

Courses are designed for individual organisations, and the planning process usually involves a visit to the school or college at some point by one of our senior staff. Most courses are fully catered in our residential centre, though we do have a self catering annexe which sleeps ten.

Five Day Sample Programme

Note: many of our courses are a day longer - six nights giving five full activity days which take advantage of our coach transport from Bedfordshire.
