Student Activities

We aim to listen to learners’ feedback from every course area at every campus and instigate changes to improve things for all learners by building on our strengths and promoting good practice.

We do this by running several learner and stakeholder surveys, learner voice forums with appointed course reps, digital champions and student governors to discuss issues, concerns, compliments and suggestions.

We are always keen to hear what learners have to say about their course and college experience.

  • Become a Course Rep

    Do you want to stand out from the crowd and make yourself more attractive to prospective employers? Then why not become a Course Rep? It looks great on your CV, you learn a range of new skills, essential for everyday-life and key skills which will help to improve your chances of securing future employment. Skills such as improved organisational, listening, and communication skills, minute-taking, researching, referencing and networking skills, developing resilience, debating skills and learning how to manage workloads.

    You will make new friends and learn how to develop healthy working relationships with staff, your peers and learners from other courses and campus, who you might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet. All training and support are provided.

    Contact Francine Price, Head of Quality Improvement, for further details.

  • Become a Digital Champion

    Do you have a natural curiosity or flare for computers and digital technology? If you are keen, conscientious and want to develop your skills in this fast-growing area, we would love you to join our Team of Digital Champions, led by Steve Wileman Digital Lead Technologist.

    Digital Champions report to the college Digital Learning Technologists and work closely with teaching staff and students. They help develop the digital skills of college students and staff and they find out what they require from digital technologies, and why. They are expected to promote the College’s Digital Agenda, become involved with college digital projects and attend/contribute to the College’s Learner Voice and Digital Steering Group meetings.

    Each campus has a designated Digital Learning Technologist, who Digital Champions report to. Training and support are ongoing throughout the academic year.

    Please contact Steve Wileman for further details.
