Who is it for?
Ignite is designed for learners that are currently being home schooled or at risk of being removed from school, i.e. those who are still engaged to some degree in education
Description
The course is designed in collaboration with the learner’s source organisation and carers. Ignite is structured upon a core group of modules and specifically selected modules appropriate to the special needs of the learners. One of the main aims of Ignite is for the learner to be able to understand and control negative behaviours. The core modules are the same as those for learners on the Engage program. However, on Ignite the challenges are met in collaboration with learners existing educational providers and we are committed to building a successful partnership.
Ignite is a flexible route for the learner to achieve a meaningful qualification.
This course can be delivered at either Horizon Community Learning Hub or at their usual place of study.
