The OCR Foundation Learning Life and Living Skills is our core programme for those working at Entry 1 to Entry 3 levels. The Foundation Learning qualification offers a large number of 'bite-sized' units, across a wide range of skill areas, at Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3. It has been designed to be completely flexible, and any combination of units can be selected to suit the particular needs and interests of the learner. It is suitable for both young people and mature learners, including those with profound and multiple learning disabilities, and contains units suitable for learners working at different stages of the Entry 1 Achievement Continuum.

A range of qualification sizes is offered including Award, Certificate and Diploma. Learners can progress both horizontally and vertically and, for those working at Entry 1 Level, progress can be developed and measured through an achievement continuum.

Units include: Performing Arts, Communication, Environment & Community, Home Management, Horticulture, ICT, Media, Numeracy, Personal Skills, Office Practice, and World of Work.
