compatible devices direct from the suppliers. This will give purchasers more flexibility in repayment, warranty, and insurance options.
You are encouraged to use this site / supplier as the company is used to supplying to education institutions
and know our minimum standards, but you are not compelled to use them if you have a device that
meets the minimum standards.
The college network is mainly based on the windows operating system, and our curriculum is based around windows.

the device to school. Use the instructions HERE to switch out of “S” mode.
A carry bag is highly recommended.
It is recommended that extended warranty is taken out on any device. Consider insurance depending on your
circumstances, the device may be covered in your existing house and contents coverage. You can choose between
loss, theft and accidental damage.
Our supplier Learning With Technologies has established a website to assist in the purchase process.
You must purchase a copy of windows/OSX with the device, most other required software will be provided by the college including Office (Word, Excel etc.).

software usually comes as a package to cover all your home devices.
