eStudies

All Advanced Level students take an eStudies course which prepares them for a Level 3 Key Skills qualification and either AS General Studies or AS Critical Thinking. Students also develop information literacy skills.

The main part of the course is delivered using the College's Virtual Learning Environment. Students can access learning materials in the Space (a learning centre with 30 computers) and at any of the open access areas in College or from home. Students also have regular tutorials in small groups with their eStudies teacher.
