Return to Learn

Duration: 3 hour sessions fortnightly over 9 months plus two residentials
Qualification: Open College Network Level 1,2 or 3

Return to Learn is a UNISON course which enables members to gain a qualification which is comparable to a GCSE English. It is also useful for members who are planning to start studying after a long time and would like some preparation. The course is run in an informal environment, in small groups with a lot of tutor support. The residentials allow participants to get to know each other and promote a positive learning environment. UNISON works with employers to enable members to attend the Return to Learn during work time.

The course covers a range of topics including:

learning to study effectively
descriptive writing and note-taking
researching topics
problem solving with numbers
understanding statistics
analysing information

The Return to Learn course provides learners with the necessary qualification to meet the criteria for application to the Open University K100 Understanding Health & Social Care course, if you do not possess NVQs or other qualifications.

Return to Learn is currently recruiting in: * Greenpark Trust * Royal Victoria Hospital Trust * Armagh & Dungannon Trust
