The Students' Union is running a poster competition to encourage FE students to take part in the national Learner Satisfaction Survey.

The LSS is an online national student survey for Further Education students that aims to improve colleges across the country by providing learners with information from other students on their learning experience. Colleges and Students' Unions can also use this infomation to identify areas of improvement or particular strengths.

The college's main push for the survey is between 16th-24th April and posters can include this info but MUST include the web address www.ipsos-mori.com/learnersatisfaction and the college code 10000754.

The LSS logo is available for download above (right-click the logo and select 'Save image as...' or 'Save picture as...').

First prize is £50 of High Street vouchers, second prize £25 and third £10. Entries must be emailed to SUComms@blackpool.ac.uk by 20th Jan.

Bicycle Security
by Moodle Support - Monday, November 21, 2011, 05:03 PM
 

Cycle theft is on the increase, especially at this time of the year. Help us to help you by following a few basic tips to avoid your cycle from being stolen:

  1. Purchase a recommended cycle cable lock, long enough to thread between wheels, frame and securing stand.
  2. Purchase a recommended 'D type' shackle lock as a secondary measure to secure frame to securing stand.
  3. Ensure the locks are difficult to access to unlock because if they are difficult for you to open then it will be difficult for a thief.
  4. Get your cycle chemically etched by the Police, not only will they do this free of charge, they will give you a free, quality cycle lock. If you are interested in this service contact Estates - Campus Services Manager for details (kbr@blackpool.ac.uk or 01253 504248).
  5. Report any suspicious persons to security staff or Reception, especially if they seem to be interested in the cycles already secured in location.
