Accredited Awards

Our sports and arts programmes of learning are both accredited to Level 1, Level 2, non accredited, vocational and interpersonal which support individual learning plans, person centred planning, those working towards re-engagement in community activity, education and employment.

We believe in having fun whilst learning, we are passionate, excited and believe we can instil enthusiasm to learn with our unique very participative approach. We are not trying to create a traditional classroom situation, but an environment and atmosphere where people feel relaxed, comfortable, respected and supported with their learning experience. That’s exactly what it will be ‘a learning experience’.
