Additional Learning Support

Ensuring every learner feels supported

Our Commitment to Support

At GLP Training, we are committed to ensuring every learner feels supported, confident, and able to achieve their goals. Our Additional Learning Support (ALS) service is designed to help learners overcome barriers to learning, progress successfully through their training, and develop the independence needed for long-term career success.

Why Additional Learning Support Matters

Our Learning Support provision plays a key role in learner success by:

Maximising potential: helping learners build confidence, skills, and achievement
Reducing disengagement: supporting retention and progression throughout the programme
Promoting inclusion: creating a diverse, supportive, and empowered workforce

Support is personalised and flexible, and learners do not need a formal diagnosis to access our additional learning support.

How We Identify Support Needs

We recognise that every learner is unique.

Support needs may be identified through:

Information shared during enrolment
Learner self-referral at any stage of the programme
Tutor observations and feedback
Cognitive assessments such as the Cognassist screener, which help us understand individual strengths, learning preferences, and potential challenges

These insights allow us to put the right support and reasonable adjustments in place to enhance each learner’s experience.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

GLP Training is committed in creating a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion.

We ensure that all learners and staff are treated with dignity and respect, and that no one is disadvantaged due to disability, background, or personal circumstance.

We believe everyone has the right to access education, training, and career opportunities, and we make reasonable adjustments to support success for all.
