Students

Welcome

We very much hope that your time spent with us is an enjoyable one. We recognise that studying a professional qualification, often whilst working at the same time, is a huge commitment, both in time and money, and we are here to help you every step of the way.

We are committed to helping you to achieve your chosen qualification in a timely manner. Through the use of our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and regular tutorials, we provide you with the study materials and support you need to make your time at college as straight forward as possible. Additional reading around your chosen subject is always advised and, with the help of our eLibrary and your studying membership to the relevant awarding body, you will have access to additional ebooks and resources to help you along the way.

If you have any worries about your studies whilst at college please speak to your tutor at the earliest possible opportunity. Your tutors can help you with study skills, planning your time, keeping on track and are always available to listen to you and work towards a solution.
