Information For Students With Disabilities
ALS stands for “Additional Learning Support”. We’re here to help you get the best out of your time at College, whether you have a learning difficulty, disability or other learning need.
Why We're Different
An Inclusive College Blackburn College is unique in the way that it supports all students to study together. This means that whatever the learning difficulty or disability, support can be found to study alongside other students without disabilities. And it doesn’t matter what the course is.
How We Can Support You
We strongly advise you to contact our Learning Support Team, preferably before you apply. Come along on an Open Day or contact us to arrange an individual visit so you can look around the college and discuss your support needs.
The college can offer advice and guidance through the application stages. Contact Student Services and/or the Learning Support team. Priority is given to those who contact us early because of the large number of supported students.
