Those following this programme will be expected to find their own local accommodation. Please ask your course administrator, who may be able to advise of local student accommodation or estate agents to approach.

Some of our partnership schools have childcare facilities locally; Truro and Penwith College also has a nursery on-site.

All of our partnership schools are committed to ensuring that those with disabilities are fully supported, and making reasonable adjustments to support those with specific needs relating to a disability. Both training centres are accessible.

Those with additional learning needs will be supported throughout the course by management staff and, where appropriate, academic tutors.

We recommend that applicants have their own means of transport. We expect that you will be required to travel to at least two different placement schools during the course, in addition to travelling to training centres.
