Professional Tutors
When you start college you will be allocated a Professional Tutor. They will get to know you and help support you on your course, and assist you in planning your future.
Part of their role will be to monitor your attendance and to support you with any issues that may arise. They are your first port of call for advice and, if needed, will put you in touch with further support.
Professional Tutors will help motivate you to become a successful learner and to achieve your full personal and academic potential.
Additional Support
We take our responsibility to provide you with additional support, when needed, very seriously, and offer a range of help to meet your needs – including specifically designed courses. You should indicate any medical/ learning needs clearly on your application, so we can discuss it at interview and ensure the appropriate support is in place when you begin your course.
