Independent Living

The Independent Living Qualification provides students with a practical and engaging approach to developing the confidence, knowledge and skills needed for adult life. Over four lessons each week, students will learn how to navigate the world around them by getting out into the community, making decisions, solving problems and becoming more independent.

Topics include dealing with problems in daily life, healthy living, food planning and preparation, making the most of leisure time, using technology in the home and community, personal safety, environmental awareness, individual rights and responsibilities, managing money, building positive social relationships, understanding their role within the community and planning journeys.

Students can work towards a range of recognised qualifications, including the WJEC Entry Pathways Award or Certificate in Personal Progress (Entry Level 1), Independent Living and Personal & Social Development (Entry Levels 2 and 3), as well as a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate.
