Accessibility of IT training courses
The BUCS IT Training Team are committed to making our courses accessible to all staff and postgraduate students within the University. If you require any special arrangements to be made to enable you to fully enjoy and participate in one of our courses please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.
Some examples of ways in which we may be able to help are given below.
- The training suite is accessible from the main road leading from the UBSA building to 2 South.
- You will not need to climb any steps to access our training rooms.
- All of our rooms are fully wheelchair accessible
- We have an accessible toilet with wheelchair access and handrails
Handouts
Following your attendance at one of our sessions you will be given a handout covering the information you have looked at during the session. Our handouts are available in a variety of formats including:
- Large print - Just let us know the size and font you would prefer to receive your handout in
- Colours - Handouts are given on white paper with black print however if you would prefer different colour text or paper please let us know
- Electronic - If you use an audio browser or magnification screen, you may prefer to receive an electronic copy of your handout
Hearing Loops
If you have a portable hearing loop you are welcome to bring this along with you. However you may wish to come down for a trial run to ensure that there is no interference from either the computers or the overhead computer projector we will use.
If you do not have your own hearing loop which you can bring along we may be able to hire a loop for you from the Audio Visal Unit. Please note we will need a few weeks' notice to organise this.
Magnification
If you use a magnification screen to do your work it may not be possible for you to bring this along to the training session. In this case we will endeavour to organise a one to one training session with you in your office where you have access to your own equipment.
We aim to provide whatever alternative arrangements are required, so please e-mail us to discuss your personal requirements
