Become a class representative
Students on every course within the College elect Class Representatives each academic session. The role of the Class Representatives is to collect the views from fellow learners on a variety of subjects. The views obtained will then be discussed at Class Representative Meetings and Learner Representative Forums. Class Representatives have a great opportunity to ensure that the learners' voice is heard and they play a key role in the quality of teaching and learning. All Class Representatives will be trained in their role and will also recieve additional benefits including vouchers, discounts to any events, plus much more.
