Standards

We are committed to producing an accessible website to support our learners’ needs. This page describes some of the features that have been included into this site.
We have followed relevant standards and good practice for accessibility and usability whilst developing our website, including the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Our website conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Triple-A (WIA-AAA) standard.

Some units on the website (i.e. staff intranet and student intranet) are designed to be accessed by registered users only.

All text on the site can be resized using your web browser's own controls or directly from our college website homepage. Also, the body text is set to be relative to your browser's default text size, to increase the chance that it will be easier for you to read.

If you feel the text size is not ideal, we have instructions on changing your browser to set a comfortable text size.If you require text to be larger, use the text size controls built into your web-browser (the software you view web pages with). To access these controls, perform the following actions:

Pictures

Generally, when a picture is attached to a webpage, it slows down your page downloading time. Therefore, we decided to either limit the number of pictures to be displayed on our website or convert them to web-friendly versions.

File Types

We convert all our Word documents (.doc) into PDF (.pdf) file formats to make the document more accessible.

Printer Friendly Version

Printer friendly pages and different font size options for a small print utility will help us to save paper and reduce our carbon foot print by not printing out unnecessary sections.

Browser Support

We are committed to open standards, such as those created by the World Wide Web Consortium. These standards help make the Web work more reliably for everyone, and are widely supported by governments around the world and by the internet industry itself.

The layout of our site is designed to make best use of the available browser window. You should be able to use the site at any screen resolution and browser window size without any problems.

The layout has been constructed with Cascading Style Sheets to give the best results in a wide range of browsing situations. This means that the internet will work on the following list of browsers:
