IT equipment required for the course is provided by the College. However, it would be an advantage if learners have an appropriate device (PC, Laptop, Tablet) at home for independent study. All learners are expected to bring their own notepads, pens and relevant stationery supplies to college, so that they are ready to learn.
The range of units in each Elevate pathway has been carefully chosen to assist learners in making informed decisions about their career pathways while also preparing them for a Level 2 programme of study. By engaging with a diverse range of units, learners will have the opportunity to explore different subject areas and develop a broad skill set that will help guide their future educational and professional choices.
Additionally, learners will benefit from interactions with teaching staff from various curriculum areas, providing them with valuable exposure to different expertise and approaches. This well-rounded experience ensures that learners are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in their next stage of learning.
Bath College provides all the equipment for you.
But you should bring your own notepads and pens to lessons, so you can take notes in lessons.
If you need help with the cost of notepads and pens, travel to and from the college, or free college meals, please email studentfunding@bathcollege.ac.uk.
