As we are unable to host our taster days at college this year, we have created a series of course introduction videos. Our teachers will give you a very short introduction to the course and will set you a task to complete. We hope that these will give you a better understanding of the course and what to expect. More information about our courses including assessment and entry requirements can be found on the main college website.
