By far the most important resource is you.

Not just you, but how you approach the course: your attitude and your work ethic. Your willingness to work hard, and to keep going when things get tough. Your organisation and time management , and your enthusiasm and positivity.

All students are issued with this text book when they join the course. They use it to support their independent study at home and in college, and it's also used in lessons.

You've probably used these at school - we think they're excellent at covering the basics, and we recommend them to students. They're for sale in the college shop!

An electronic version of the text book, plus lots of other online resources to support students' learning.

This is a central resource for students.
