What we do
GASP is widely recognised in Surrey as a provider of non-judgmental, caring and practical support. We deliver accredited courses in basic motor mechanics and practical engineering skills and contribute to students’ positive personal development. We do this by providing specialist, practical, hands-on learning within a focused, personalised and disciplined framework. This is either at our fully equipped custom-built workshop in Albury (near Guildford) or through our mobile unit, which enables us to bring the courses out to schools and
youth organisations across Surrey.
To find out more about our courses please visit our sessions page or prospectus.
Testimonials
“[The GASP course] has helped students to make connections with subjects they are studying – science, DT – and they have benefited from working as part of a team. “We would definitely choose GASP again – it has been a very positive experience for the students who have attended, and they have benefited from some excellent teaching.”
Kings College Guildford

“The GASP project provides much more than just tangible, practical mechanical skills, the pupils are able to forge positive, trusting relationships with adults outside their classroom environment which is a valuable life skill. The GASP project is valued by our pupils – they look forward to their sessions and talk about their experiences with pride and enthusiasm.”

“Students engage in practical skills and learning. The course benefits them in giving them confidence. Some students come into school just to do the GASP course.”
