Progression opportunities to further education, employment and training

FACE recognises that being in learning helps individuals to move forward in their lives (progression) which can be very different for the needs of different individuals.

There is no national set of rules to define ‘positive progression’ for all forms of learning. We recognise, therefore, progression in all its forms. The service also recognises there are different ways of measuring progression.

Knowsley FACE offers internal progression routes for many courses. For those wishing to extend their learning even further our team of Information Advice and Guidance (IAG) officers can support their wishes by signposting them to relevant institutions and/or other providers. Many of our learners gain the entry qualifications to undertake more advanced studies at Colleges and Universities.
