Somewhere to study, and help when technology gets in the way

Not everyone has a quiet desk at home or a reliable laptop. Faraday House is set up so you can study on site, and our team can sort out most access problems the same day.

At Faraday House

Study room and library
A quiet room with reference books covering pre-hospital care, anatomy and physiology, and health and social care. Ask at reception.
Computers and Wi-Fi
On-site computers for any learner, and free Wi-Fi throughout the building.
Loan laptops
If you have no suitable device, we can lend you one for the length of your programme, subject to availability.
Printing
For assignments and placement documents, by arrangement.

The centre is open 8.00 to 17.00, Monday to Friday. Study space outside timetabled sessions is by arrangement, so let your tutor or reception know when you want to come in.

Online resources

Course materials, reading lists and recorded sessions sit in your learning platform, so you can study from anywhere. Where a programme needs journal articles or e-books, your tutor provides access through the platform or points you to free sources such as NHS Knowledge and Library Hub access through your employer.

Academic writing support

If you have not written an assignment for years, you are not alone. Our academic writing support helps with structure, referencing and getting your thinking onto the page. Ask your tutor to arrange it.

IT help

We support two platforms. Apprentices use Aptem for their portfolio, reviews and off-the-job record. Commercial course learners use Arlo for bookings, joining instructions and course communications. See Learning Platforms: Aptem and Arlo for how each works.

Something not working?
Login problems, uploading evidence, accessing recordings or anything that stops you working: contact your tutor or call 01325 609030. Most problems are fixed the same day.

Working safely online

Our E-Safety and Acceptable Use guidance is in your Learner Handbook. In short: keep your login private, think before you share anything about patients or placements, and tell us if you see anything online that worries you.

Learning support and information

Making sure our learners feel supported on the learning journey is our highest priority. Whilst our tutors offer all the academic support you need, we provide a range of services to make sure you have all the care you need to succeed and reach your potential.
