Learner Services Additional Learning Support
The Additional Learning Support Department at Derby College is dedicated to helping you maximise your potential and attain your goals.
If you have any kind of learning difficulty, disability or your literacy/numeracy skills are below Level 2, we can offer tailored support to match your individual circumstances, all within an inclusive College community.
You can talk to us about your needs at any time during your course and even when you're first enquiring about coming to College. We'll be happy to help.
The College is firmly committed to inclusive learning and we work with our students to create an environment in which disability is not a disadvantage. In fact, Ofsted has ranked our support for educational and social inclusion as "Outstanding".
