The Certificate I in Transition Education teaches those with mild intellectual disabilities the skills they need to find their feet in the community after leaving school. Students will learn to read and write simple sentences and develop basic numeracy and communication skills. This course is led by highly experienced and passionate teachers who provide a supportive environment for student learning. Upon completion, students will have gained the confidence and skills they need to pursue employment, volunteer work or further study.  

This exciting and flexible programme allows you to study three subjects at degree level, with the option to change to two subjects after the first year. You choose the subjects you are interested in, subject to some pre-requisite requirements, and you structure your own degree. There are around 20 subjects to choose from and students make unique combinations to suit their interests and ambitions. Many of our students choose to include a modern foreign language in their degrees, which includes a year abroad as well as wider skills for the employment market. Others complement their passion for English or History by exploring Philosophy, Archaeology, Religion, Sociology or Music. You then have the option to continue with all three subjects or only two subjects after the first year once you have found your ideal combination. You graduate with your subjects in the title of your degree, so it will be clear what you studied. You will also have a range of experience and attributes that are attractive to employers, demonstrating your independence, organisation and decision-making skills.
