Landmarks Specialist College

landmarks specialist college

London

Landmarks started to offer day services and post-16 education in March 1995, where the curriculum was largely practical and land-based, working in farm buildings in Creswell, Derbyshire. Since that time Landmarks has grown and developed its educational offer so that by the time of writing this welcome, Landmarks supports over 150 post-16 and day service Learners, all of whom learn a variety of essential life skills from our five sites located across the East Midlands and South Yorkshire. We have changed our curriculum from purely land and animal-based to include several vocational subjects such as; hospitality, catering, cookery, retail, administration and labouring. These additional subjects support our learners to make informed choices about the type of vocations they would like to follow. College life at Landmarks involves being taught in practical, real-life situations, whilst being supported by highly trained and experienced staff who are experts in working with learners with additional needs. It is important for me, as it is for my team, that whilst learners are with us, they focus on developing knowledge, skills and behaviour that makes a real difference to their lives. I hope from reading the case studies and outcomes featured within this website, you can see what difference that focus has made to our learners’ lives. I am extremely proud of all our learners’ achievements, either becoming more independent so that they can attend activities they enjoy or securing employment for the first time in their lives. Indeed, we are so keen to support our learners that when you leave Landmarks, should you need support to maintain employment or seek advice you can contact our dedicated ‘After College, Aftercare’ team. I do trust that you will enjoy exploring our website and getting to know us a little better. Of course, it is only by visiting Landmarks that you will truly get a feel for the place. Whilst we run regular open events, please feel free to contact our learner recruitment team, who can organise a visit just for you, so you get a perfect opportunity to ask all the questions you have about learning at Landmarks. Also, we are always keen to hear from like-minded colleagues from other institutions, or from those interested in working with us in the future. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to know more.

As a leading training provider, we aim to provide business knowledge & services to transform people and industry.  Whyy choose us?  "I have just recently finished my CMI Level 5 apprenticeship in Management & Leadership. Despite the challenges of COVID in the last 18 months Whyy Change quickly adapted to online learning and they were always there for me. I couldn't recommend them anymore, fantastic experience. Abi Holloway Supply Chain Manager, Sonoco Consumer Products Ltd I decided to do an apprenticeship to develop my skills in my role and was thrilled to come away with a distinction Level 4 Improvement Practitioner. Whilst Lean doesn’t always fit in my work environment I have come away with many tools and techniques that I can use to make my work more effective. The team at Whyy Change were friendly and informative and fully supported us through Covid-19 lockdowns, supporting us with regular Zoom calls when we were unable to visit the office. Amanda Hammer Digital Designer, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council Having worked with Whyy? Change for a number of years, I have had nothing but excellent feedback from every apprentice or team member who has engaged in training with them. The whole Whyy? Change team go that extra mile to ensure that learners find the best way to learn for them and encourage and inspire success. Julia Bloomer DL Head of Learning & Development and HR, AESSEAL PLC I’ve recently completed my Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Level 4 Digital Marketing Qualification through an apprenticeship. Emma was extremely helpful throughout the onboarding process and explained everything. My tutor was Laura, who answered any question I had and explained the content in multiple ways if I didn’t understand a certain topic. I can’t recommend Whyy? Change enough it was a great environment to learn within. Such a supportive, caring and encouraging environment. Millie Wilkinson Communications Assistant, Henry Boot PLC I would highly recommend doing an apprenticeship or any other course with Whyy? Change. The help and support I received from all the staff was like no other and I always received 100% from all of them. I’ll be very very impressed and shocked if anyone else can top the level of kindness, helpfulness, passion and respect shown by Whyy? Change. Whether you're straight out of school or looking for a career change after 20 years, Whyy? is the one to choose.
