Learning support team
Learning support is available for all full-time and part-time students,
and provides help with planning assignments, research, essay writing, exam
techniques, literacy, numeracy and for students with specific learning difficulties.
If you think you may need help with any of the above, talk to your Tutor or contact the Learning Support Co-ordinator on your campus directly (see below).
If you previously had exam concessions or think that you may be eligible for them you should see the Learning Support Co-ordinator as soon as possible. The College wishes to ensure that it complies with the Disability Discrimination Act (as amended by the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001). If you are a person with an impairment, please ensure that we know what you need so that we can make all reasonable adjustments to help you succeed.
Our Learning Support Team will work closely with you if you need additional learning support while on your course, to ensure you achieve your full potential.
