Learner successes
Congratulations to this years
Adult Learner Award winners!
We will be celebrating their
achievements at a fun family
event at the Rivers Centre in
July. Tutors and sta look
forward to sharing stories like
Carmens.
Carmen Mercas completed
ESOL and Business
Administration courses with us and is now a student on
a Health and Social Care degree programme. Carmen
says:
After 7 years as a full-time mother I started an ESOL
course at CLMK. At the beginning of my education
journey I told myself I was too old for studying but this
great experience as a CLMK learner made me more
aware of my own value and encouraged my ambition.
Responding to feedback
We value your feedback and use it to make
improvements where we can.
Thanks to your comments over the past year, we have:
Fully enclosed rooms 1, 2, 3 and 4 at Rivers to lessen
noise
Improved the student lounge area at Rivers to
include an independent study area
Programmed summer courses to provide continuity

Redesigned this brochure so that Saturday courses
are grouped together
Added extra courses to meet demand
Introduced some higher level courses to enable
learners to progress
Scheduled intensive summer schools for language
learners
Introduced a special oer for learners who enrol on
more than four personal development courses over
the year

Employment
Programme
Milton Keynes Council and Milton Keynes College are
working together with Job Centre Plus and a range of
voluntary and community organisations to provide locally
based job clubs to help unemployed young people and
adults into work.
The job clubs are based in community centres, libraries
and Parish oces in the heart of priority estates so that as
many people as possible can get help.
We really value opportunities to talk to you directly

about your experience as one of our learners. As well as
visiting classes, we hold learner forums and focus
groups so that we can hear what you have to say.
Would you be able to take part in one of our Adult
Learner Forum meetings? Informal meetings are held
once or twice a year and refreshments are provided.
email: [email protected]
Job clubs oer help with careers advice, job search, CV

writing, completing applications and basic computer
training. Advisors can help you nd other training as well,
whether you are actively seeking work or considering
your options for the future.
An up-to-date list of job clubs, opening times and contact
details is on the Council website at:
Interviews and
skills checks
We want all learners to get the best from their course and

sure you understand what previous experience and
commitment the course requires.
English, ESOL and Maths learners will also have a
skills check to make sure that you start your course at
the right level.
Interviews and skills checks will take place at the Rivers
Centre during August and the rst week of September.

Join the adventurous people who are changing their lives by learning to speak a new language. Enjoy a new cultural experience
or improve your job prospects by signing up to the language and level that suit you.
Coming back to language learning after a break and not sure of your level?
We recommend you:
Read the language level guide below
Visit www.linguanet-worldwide.org a multi-lingual online resource which will help you check your level
Talk to our languages advisor on 01908 556705
Continuing your language learning?

Do you know your place on the Languages Ladder?
If you already hold any Languages Ladder certicates, make sure your new tutor knows which skills you have passed at which
levels.
Which level is best for me?
First Steps/Absolute Beginners/All Day:
For learners who have not learned any of the language before
Next Steps
For learners who have completed a First Steps/one day Absolute Beginners course or equivalent in the recent past
Improvers
For learners who have completed 40-60 hours in the recent past
Intermediate
For learners who have completed 120 hours in the recent past
Advanced
For learners who have reached A Level standard and want to improve their listening and speaking skills
GCSE
For learners who have completed 120 hours in the recent past and want an externally assessed qualication
Measure your progress on the Languages Ladder

How do you climb the Languages Ladder?
1 What is the Languages Ladder?
The Languages Ladder is a scheme which rewards your language learning achievements and helps you chart your progress.
2 How does it work?
The Languages Ladder gives you the opportunity to focus on the language skills you need - - listening, speaking, reading and
writing and helps you to identify more easily which class you should join. You can start at Grade 1 in any skill and work your
way up!
3 Do I have to do the assessment?
No, it is entirely optional, although most learners decide they would like to have their progress recognised. Feedback from
learners indicates that the step-by-step approach helps them build condence and makes learning easier.
4 When and where do these assessments take place?
Most assessments take place in the classroom and are very informal. This kind of assessment is part of the course and it is
unlikely that you will notice it happening! You might, for example, be asked to do an exercise as a group or with a partner and
the teacher will take the opportunity to listen in to what is going on.
5 How do I nd out more about the Languages Ladder?
Your tutor should be able to give you more information or you can talk to our languages advisor on 01908 556705

Due to the volume of work required CLMK
strongly recommends that learners only enrol on

Cancellation and Refund Policy

We may, regretfully, have to cancel courses if we do
not receive enough enrolments, or close them if
there is a high level of non-attendance or
withdrawal. In these circumstances you will be
informed as soon as possible and a refund will be
made by crediting your credit/debit card or by
cheques. It is not possible for us to make refunds in
cash. Payments made by chip and pin can only be
refunded in person and with the card used.
However, to avoid disappointing learners who enrol
on courses which do not attract quite enough
learners to be fully viable, we reserve the right to
adjust the course length. For example a course may
be delivered more intensively and end a week early.
Under these circumstances no refunds or partial
refunds will be possible.
32
Session cancellation due to extreme weather

Wherever possible we will oer replacement or
extended sessions to make up for sessions cancelled
due to extreme weather, tutor illness or other
unforeseen reason. In the unusual event that this is
not possible, we will recompense learners by issuing
a pro-rata credit or learning voucher against a future
course.
Cancellation or transfer by the learner
If you need to withdraw from a course and inform us
in writing at least 10 working days before the course
is due to start, you will be eligible for a refund of all
fees minus a 30 administration charge. If you
withdraw from a course at any other time, you will
not be eligible for a refund. However, in exceptional
circumstances and at our discretion, we may be able
to oer some credit against a future course.
Requests to transfer courses may also incur a 30
administration charge unless recommended by your
tutor or a member of sta because a course at a
dierent level will better meet your learning needs.

range of measurable health benefits. So come along to

Youth Faculty
The councils popular Youth Service is now part of
Community Learning MK. We hope that this will help to
highlight the links between youth work and the delivery
of information, advice and guidance and the learning
opportunities which can enhance young peoples life
chances.
Youth workers will continue to develop projects and
programmes in partnership with voluntary organisations
in those areas of Milton Keynes where particular needs
arise, e.g. through population growth or lack of access to
other facilities and support.
We will actively encourage young people who need
additional support to get involved in bespoke
Tel: 01908 556700

programmes and we will focus on keeping young people
engaged in education, employment or training to help
them have full and active adult lives.
An important part of our work is to ensure that young
people are involved in the design, delivery and
governance of youth programmes. We support the Youth
Cabinet, a group of young people elected by their peers
to identify and speak up about issues which are
important to young people, such as transport, bullying
and young peoples mental health.
