Independent living skills are an important part of the College curriculum and all learners have these as part of their programme. These include:
- Cooking
- Cleaning
- Laundry
- Budgeting
The College teaches transferable skills and, outside class time learners are able to use the skills they have learnt. With appropriate support, learners are able to plan, budget, cook their meals and complete their domestic tasks.

- Personal safety
- Routes around College and the local community
