Support for Students

Student Charter – We expect our students to:

• Attend every class
• Show respect to their tutors and peers
• Adhere to Health & Safety regulations and policies in college and at site
• Be dedicated and committed to working hard- putting in 100% of effort from the very beginning of their programme
• Communicate with our team if they have any issues

We monitor and review attendance, behaviour and performance of all students regularly. We will inform your parents / employer of your absence to ensure that you are safe. Our staff will review your progress through your Individual Learning Plan and support you to achieve your targets.

We can support you in the following areas:

• Support to help you keep up with your work
• Support with personal issues
• Support and guidance with family issues & childcare

Support for Parents

At The Engineering College, we treat your son/daughter as a young adult, and have expectations from them (listed in the Student Charter). In return, we provide them with an opportunity to learn from a team of experienced engineering tutors and develop skills for a long-term career in the engineering industry.

We value the relationship we have with our students, employers, parents, carers and guardians, particularly the parents / carers and guardians of students aged 16-18 years old. We actively encourage parents to get in touch if any enquiries or issues arise over the duration of the programme.

You can access more information on our Parents FAQ page

If you do have any concerns, please contact Jenna on 0151 666 6590.
