The Certificate in Social Citizenship is a two-year course for people with intellectual disabilities. Students develop skills to promote increased self-reliance and independence. This allows them to become more involved in all aspects of life. The course is underpinned by the values of respect and recognition of diversity and inclusivity, and is informed by a rights-based agenda.

 

Students study in three different ways during the course: Core modules, co-learning modules, and work placement.
