We know IT is a big part of students' studies and workload, so that's why we think it's important to know who can always be on hand to help with any IT needs.
We have a team of onsite IT Technicians based at every campus who are happy to support.
Support can be sought by asking any of the IT team, who are based in our Future Ready Hubs.
The college has an IT Service Desk that is contactable via email, phone and an online help system.
Students are welcome to contact us, but most queries will come through via the tutors.
