The Entry programme aims to develop independence, well-being and employability skills. At QMC you will have a programme which is aimed at supporting you on your first steps towards becoming an independent adult. We have a friendly and committed team of staff who provide support and reassurance when you need it and empowerment when you want to do things for yourself.

We have our own dedicated classrooms based in the modern Spectrum building and we also make use of the wide range of facilities available in a large mainstream college. This includes excellent sports facilities such as fitness suite, sports hall, swimming pool and sports pitches. We also have our own theatre. Basingstoke town centre is only ten minutes away, giving us lots of opportunities to participate in the local community.

Your programme will promote independence and enable you to make good progress towards employment, independent living, good health and participation in the community. You will study literacy and numeracy at an appropriate level and will also build up a work experience portfolio. You will study a range of accredited units which are part of the Gateway suite of entry level qualifications.

There are no specific entry requirements.
