Hounslow Council


Additional learner support

As a dedicated provider of quality adult and community education, we aim to make lifelong learning accessible to all.

We can help learners on qualification courses who have disabilities, learning difficulties or mental health difficulties.

We can provide support, inside or outside the classroom, or both.

A learning support assistant may work alongside the learner to build confidence, take notes, provide extra instruction and practice, interpret using sign language or the learner’s first language, or help in any other way with the learning.

The costs of special equipment or extra exam time may sometimes be met. We regret we cannot help with transport costs.

Let us know about your support needs as early as possible before you enrol.
