It explains clearly what support is available in further education. It provides good, concise information. I especially liked the revision template and the information in the appendices on how to use the technologies that students often have on their phones. I think the book will also be useful to teachers, careers advisors and other professionals. It is well written and easy to read and understand. — Carol Pilkington, Teacher, Shaftesbury High School About the Author: Ann-Marie McNicholas has twenty years' experience working as a learning support advisor and specialist teacher in a further education college.
