Teaching Literacy and Learning Skills
The correlation between criminal behaviour and illiteracy is well
documented. Failures in school and education can directly translate
into crime and violence on the street.
| "It
was a good course because you can label and identify the emotions
you're feeling and can explain your actions, when studying.
Very good points to take on board to help in future studying.
Thank you to my supervisor and all behind the scenes for their
hard work and patience. Thanks once again."

"The Learning Skills for Life Course has taught me
a valuable tool in life - how to overcome hurdles I may come
across in my studies. I now know exactly how to make understood
any word properly. This is very useful to me, as I do a lot
of reading. Also because I'm very keen to study, it will help
in the future for any courses I intend to do. I would recommend
this course to anyone thinking of taking up any form of education."

The CRIMINON Programme handles this deficiency head-on with the
Learning How to Learn and the Learning Skills Courses, which
teach the student how to study, how to overcome the barriers to
comprehension, and how to retain knowledge. It enables one to study
any subject and learn the material effectively, so that he may then
apply it immediately in life, with success.
Ultimately, why does a person study? So he can use what he has
learned. But not knowing how to study and effectively learn a subject
or craft can bar the road to real life application and success,
not to mention something as basic as getting and holding a job.
On this course, students are taught the barriers to learning and
how to recognise and overcome them. They are also taught how to
look up and define words so that they are understood, whether in
books or conversation. And most importantly, they are taught how
to apply what is being learned so that it can be used. In effect,
students on this course learn how to learn.
Successes from this course consistently acknowledge the fact that
it is a vital skill for future training, not just in the CRIMINON
Programme, but in life. Students often feel for the first
time that they can master any subject or craft, and that they can
then build a career from what they've learned.
