Learning Support

If you have any additional needs then there are a number of ways in which we can help you to successfully complete your course.

We can provide:

• Class/workshop support
• One-to-one personal tuition
• Access to Learning Mentors
• Provision of specialist equipment for individuals based on learning needs
• Specialist tuition and equipment for students who have learning differences or disabilities
• Access to specialist software e.g. text to speech and Inspiration (mind mapping)
• Support with applications for Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) for Higher Education students
• Free full assessments for dyslexia for Furness College students (based on initial screening results)
• Exam considerations (subject to exam board approval)

Please ensure you let us know about your support needs so we can invite you to a confidential interview to discuss your personal support package.

For further information about support with additional needs, please contact: Helen Sharples (Head of Inclusion) on 01229 825017 or email helen.sharples@furness.ac.uk
