Additional learning support
We all learn in different ways. By recognising, valuing and
responding to differences in the ways people learn, we can improve
the quality of everyone’s learning.
- When you apply, please let the admissions team know about any
extra support needs you may have – such as disabilities, learning
difficulties or help with basic skills. We can make sure that
support is in place when your course starts.
- If you have dyslexia, our specialist tutors can assess your
needs and prepare a plan to support you.
- We help visually impaired and hearing impaired students in
partnership with organisations such as RNIB and the City Lit Centre
for Deaf People and Speech Therapy.
- We arrange extra support with English and maths through
workshops or individual tuition.
- We negotiate with exam boards to make special arrangements
where necessary.
- We provide specialist equipment including voice recognition
technology, text enlarger software, and adapted computers.
- We have full wheelchair access on all sites.

The Support for Learning Team
The Support for Learning Team covers all College centres to make
sure support is organised for those who need it. Examples of
the types of support available:
- BSL and communication support for deaf students
- Note takers and specialist software for students who are blind
or visually impaired
- Support workers for those with medical or physical support
requirements
- Readers and extra time in exams for students with dyslexia
- Individual support for students with mental ill health
Students who have sensory or physical difficulties can have
access to resources such as magnifiers, dictaphones, and in some
cases a laptop computer.
