What social activities can I take part in?

We offer a programme of social and sports activities to all our students; full information is available from the Student Room at your centre of study. Student rooms are available for those who want to play games, meet up with friends or just chill.

What facilities and resources are available?

A range of snacks, hot and cold foods are available to purchase in the canteen and café facilities, as well as vending machines. Halal meat and washing facilities are available at both centres. We have Quiet Rooms for those preferring to reflect. LRCs (libraries) are available at both centres, fully equipped with a wide range of learning materials and qualified friendly staff on hand to support you.

What else should I know?

Our courses are specifically designed to develop your English language skills to support employability instead of simply passing exams. This means that by the end of this course, you should be able to confidently describe bookkeeping transactions to someone who has not studied the course.

Your exam is 90 minutes long and is hand-written so you will need a good standard of written English and the ability to produce accurate work.
