The course will give you the opportunity to achieve a nationally recognised level 3 qualification, developing your transferable skills such as analytical writing, the ability to synthesise knowledge and personal organisational skills.

You will need an A4 folder/s, lined paper, subject dividers, general stationary (pens, pencils), and a memory stick would be very helpful.
