Surveys
The college runs the following surveys every year:
- Induction – to find out what the student thought of the admissions process including enrolment and their experiences during the first few weeks of the new year -
- Learner Experience Survey – to find out what students thinks about their overall experience at the NPTC Group of Colleges
- Point of exit survey – to find out why students may have left early and the reasons why they left
- National Students Survey (HE students only) - to find out what HE Students think about their overall experience at the College and to compare that with other HE providers in the UK.
Outside the college
Students will be made aware of and encouraged to participate in external and community based activities, including:
- Community based projects
- Town and community councillors
- Board members of external organisations
