You should discuss your particular requirements before you start your course with a member of the Support for Learning Team.  This will not affect your application for a place at the College, but it will help us put in place and reasonable support / adjustments before you start your course.

Literacy and Numeracy Support

If you do not have a core skills profile before you enrol, you may be asked to complete a CS profile at interview or during induction.  If your English or Maths skills are rusty, or perhaps you never had a chance to brush up these skills before, there are workshops which you can join.

Alternatively, you may opt to join the Skills for Life workshops to brush up on study skills or areas of learning that have given problems in the past.

Additional Support Needs

Working with your subject Lecturers and Course Tutor, the Support for Learning Lecturers will help organise additional resources and support to ensure that you achieve your goals.

We have a range of special aids, enabling technologies and equipment and software that can be loaned to you while you are studying and we can arrange to have materials available on tape, in large print or in braille.

Enabling Technologies

The College has a wide range of enabling technologies to assist students who have a disability or special learning need.

If you think you might need specialist aids to assist you in your learning, you should speak to a member of the Support for Learning Team before you enrol. They will help you identify the equipment that is most suitable for your needs and also identify whether the resources are available in College or whether you should apply for funding through the Disabled Students' Allowance (HE students) or the Additional Support Needs for Learning Allowance (FE students).
