If you have a learning difficulty and/or disability, Brooklands College has a range of challenging educational programmes and opportunities available through the supported learning team. The courses offered range from Entry 1 to Level 1, are flexible and have all been designed to meet the needs and abilities of the learner. Programmes include a range of external accreditation and are designed to prepare learners for adulthood and progression pathways lead to independent living, transition to higher level courses within Brooklands or employment.

The courses are taught at the Weybridge campus, allowing vulnerable learners to access modern, safe, friendly and secure learning environments especially adapted for the needs of students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities.

Many of our courses give students the opportunity to experience vocational areas which may include Art and Design, Media, Hair & Beauty, Care, Catering, Engineering and Business.
