Work Experience, Trips and Visits
Part of your time at college involves you undertaking work experience; some of this is completed on the college farm on a regular basis.
There is an expectation that you will undertake work placements to support you own development and understanding of the subject area. Your course tutor will provide more information once you have enrolled.
Clothing and Equipment
Before you begin your course, you’ll need to make sure you’re prepared with the right equipment. Many of our courses need specialist health and safety clothing, but we’ve made it simple - some of your essentials and college branded clothing can be bought from our online shop.
For your course, you will need:
- A pair of strong sturdy safety boots (with steel toe-caps)
- One pair of college-branded overalls - preferably made of cotton
- Waterproof coveralls
- Wellington boots
- Folder with dividers to organise your work and assignments
- Stationery including notepad for use in class, pens and pencils
- USB pen drive (for saving your work).
