Welcome to Alfreton Learning Community

Providing high quality learning opportunities for people aged 14-19

This site describes new local collaborative learning opportunities for Diplomas and Vocational Qualifications for 14-16 year olds.   All courses have local progression pathways at 16+. To find out about 14-16 Vocational Qualifications and Diplomas click on Work Related Learning? in the left-hand menu. To find out about the other 14-19 courses available in your school visit www.routes-ahead.org.

This site also includes details of post 16+ courses in your area. There is a new national vision for 14-19 education. Local schools, colleges, training providers and employers are working together in a partnership, known locally as a Learning Community, to provide young people in the area with more opportunities to study nationally accredited work related qualifications in addition to the normal school curriculum.

It's been a great experience so far. I'm really enjoying using the actual machinery I would be using in the industry. Lee, Engineering
