Full time learners will be allocated a Success Coach who will be responsible for assisting with academic progress and welfare. The Success Coach will be on hand to support, guide and advise during time at the Institute.
There will be regular meetings with the Coach so they can help learners achieve their goals. Learners will also be given regular opportunities to discuss progress in one-to-one reviews and access any support they need.
