Ideally you will have access to a computer with Microsoft office 2010 and the software appropriate to the units of learning you chose to study - this can be discussed at your interview with a tutor before enrolling on a course. Although access to a computer is not essential, as you can access the college learning centres, it will help your pace of learning. If you do not have access to a computer away from classes you will be expected to access the college learning centre (by appointment) or a library learning centre between classes to practice what you have been taught. Have a digital camera whether on your mobile or another device would be of benefit but if you do not have this technology the college will supply then for use during taught sessions.
