Facilities

The purpose built Study Centres at Moulsham Street and Princes Road campuses have created the ideal opportunity to work in a comfortable environment and complete those pressing assignments and tasks.

The purpose built areas support students and are intended to allow easy access to resources including the Learning Centres, PCs and support from helpful and knowledgeable staff, all in a relaxed yet productive environment.

Study Centre timetables are full, responding to the growing expectation raised by students of more pcs and time to process their assignments.

This allows the students time to work independently, providing a unique opportunity to make progress towards targets and ultimately reach their full potential.

The College Intranet is available to both students and staff. It provides a versatile communication tool to help facilitate interaction within the College between curriculum staff, support staff and students.

It also contains a wealth of information about the College and its associated resources and facilities, as well as useful tools to help students and staff develop and expand their knowledge.

The College email system is a widely used method of communication for students and staff. Students will be issued with their log-in ID on enrolment, which gives them automatic access to their email account.
