How to book time in the workshops:
To access the workshops, you can make a booking via the Moodle Technical Resources Page, where you will be asked to undertake a few quick orientation exercises that will introduce you to the Health and Safety elements of the workshops you wish to use.
How to book equipment from the loan store:
Before you can take out any equipment from the loan store, you will need to undertake a short training exercise on ORB.
We hope that these resources will help you to explore news skills, hone your creative talents, and make the most of your time at the School of Pre-Degree Studies. The team is looking forward to seeing you in the workshops!
