Colleges & Universities
For over 40 years Skern Lodge has been providing courses for colleges and universities from across the UK. Students have attended from a range of subjects including engineering to Public Services.
No two courses are the same, that's why we work in partnership with you to design a programme that meets the students and the college/university needs.
Courses can be arranged over various lengths - anything from a day visit up to a 7 day programme.
Our tutors work with their own group throughout the stay to build rapport and to provide a path of development through the use of various theories and models. We can also assist with guidance and support through a learning log (if required) to record their progress.
Programme and activities
Our programmes are designed around your academic needs; at this early stage the activities undertaken are less important. Firstly we would identify the overall outcomes you are looking for and the process we need to take to get there. The activities will then be used as a tool to reach these goals.
