Information, Advice and Guidance

Before you enrol on the This-Ability programme you will have a meeting with our IAG (Information, Advice and Guidance) mentor. They will talk to you about what skills and experience you have already and what you want to do. This is to help you decide if the programme is right for you.

If you are not eligible or the programme isn’t right for you we will do our best to signpost you to other suitable programmes either with Humber Learning Consortium or elsewhere.

You can have another person come with you to support you in your IAG Session such as a parent, carer or keyworker.
If you are eligible and suitable for the programme, we will need to see some evidence of your identity in order to complete your enrolment.
Before we take any personal information from you, your IAG mentor will go thorugh HLC’s Participant Privacy Statement with you. This explains what information we will need, what we do with it and your rights. You will be asked to sign a statement confirming that you have read and understood the information you have been given.
Before you begin your 7 week Core Capabilities course, you will be invited to attend an induction day where you can meet the other learners that will be on the course with you and the This-Ability staff team.

  • Proof of your right to live and work in the UK - such as a birth certificate, passport or residency permit
