What if my son or daughter needs additional learning support?

Is there any help available for students who experience difficulty coping with coursework? Yes. There are various ways in which we can help.

Any student entering Fareham College with a history of learning difficulty should give details at interview to enable us to arrange appropriate support for September.

Support is available either in class, via assistive technology or on a drop in basis in the Skills Centre.
