You will have regular weekly meetings with your tutor, giving you the chance to discuss any problems which may arise during your course. In addition, during the first term there will be weekly lessons to help you develop and practise good study techniques. Additional support is available at college if you need to improve your spelling, vocabulary, and writing skills.

You will be assessed through a combination of coursework and exams. There will also be an opportunity for you to produce or to update your records of achievement.
