 Not every young person thrives in college or traditional classrooms. Many — especially those with EHCPs, NEET backgrounds, care experience, SEMH needs, or living in supported housing — need more than standard teaching.

KCL’s Therapist-Informed Online Functional Skills Programme has helped our learners achieve Functional Skills qualifications, by combining academic learning (English, Maths, Digital Skills) with emotional regulation, confidence-building, and mentoring.

We don’t just teach — we re-engage learners and help them move toward college, apprenticeships, or work.

• Young people aged 16–25 disengaged from mainstream education
• NEET cohorts needing a funded progression route
