Information for teachers

When you make a booking, you will receive a DVD which contains our work units and health and safety information. You will be contacted by Sam Jackson, the Director of Studies, before your course to finalise details of the academic content of your course. Just choose the units on the DVD which best meet your specification/coursework needs.

Before coming to the centre, reproduce all the material from the DVD you want your students to have and bring them with you. Most schools photocopy all or parts of each unit and make up booklets of work for each student.
