    Teaching

    How the course is taught

    The course will be delivered using a blended learning model.

    You will learn through a mixture of face to face and online teaching, using the college virtual learning environment (VLE)

    Practical elements of the course will continue where possible to be delivered on campus in specialist rooms and workshops. Activity on campus will be in smaller focused groups within safe working environments. You should expect to be in the college for part of the week.

    Remote (online) learning will be used for subjects that are more suited to this type of teaching.  You will need access to a computer or device for this type of learning and access to the internet*.  Resources and learning materials will all be available through the VLE although this will still be tutor-led.

    *Students with no access to computer or wifi at home will be given alternative options to allow online studying to be possible.
