(CLM) – Online attendance registration and progress reviews for Learners working across the LA on Collegiates courses, regardless of Home Centre (School) |
| Prospectus/CAPs for Kirklees |
Area Wide Prospectus and Common Application Process (CAPs) helping 14-19 Learners to search and apply for courses online |
Learners from all Kirklees Schools have access to our programmes. We arrange courses through Schools, Colleges and Work-based Learning providers and the Learners are transported to the relevant location for one half day, a full day or two days according to the programme, with the remainder of the School week in their Home Centre (School) completing National Curriculum subjects. As Learners are working off-site, access to learning materials is through the VLE and tracking and monitoring is through ‘CLM’
The Collegiates have operated successfully for over 5 years and have a very good reputation in the LA and in Schools. Many of the courses are demanding in time and effort, particularly the Young Apprenticeships and the 14-19 Diplomas, yet feedback from Learners is very positive.
