There are no special courses just for youth guarantee/ff students at MIT

YG students can enter any level 1-3 course across the institute

Many polytec tutors are used to working with mature students who are upskilling or retraining For some working with YG students is an adjustment

Some tutors suggest they have been working with young students for a long time but they have had different names/funding streams
