Teamwork keeps you supported
and successful
When you choose Barking & Dagenham College
you will benefit from a wide range of student
support services to help you succeed on your
course and get the most out of college life.
Course Information
Based at our main Rush Green Campus, our
Course Information Team will help match you
to the right course. You can drop-in to speak
to them in person (no appointment is needed),
by phone on 020 3912 6277 or at

Careers Advice
Our Careers Team is available to support you with
independent and up-to-date careers advice before,
during or after you study with us. You can make
an appointment, or they can advise you over the
phone on 020 3667 0047 / 020 3667 0127 or at

Support for Parents & Carers
We also provide support for parents and carers too.
That's because we recognise that you may need
inside knowledge to help you navigate the training
options available and to support the student in your
family.

Student Learning Mentors & Personal
Coaches
Depending on the level at which you study, you will
be allocated with a Student Learning Mentor or a
Personal Coach.
Every week you will have a one-hour group tutorial,
plus regular one-to-one tutorials with your Student
Learning Mentor/Personal Coach.
This is designed to keep you on track towards
successfully achieving your programme of study.
They will work with you to make sure you are
making progress on your course, and to help link
you up with additional help and support should you
need it.
Student Support Advisors
Student Support Advisors are trained motivators
and will help you get back on track if you are
struggling on your course.
Learning Mentors
These are fellow students who are outstanding in
their particular subject area, and have what it takes
to provide practical help with any course work
problems you may be experiencing.
Counselling & Wellbeing Services
Student life should be enjoyable but sometimes
we encounter problems that we cannot cope with
alone. We have a team of Counsellors and on-site
specialists that are available to assist you with any
problems that you may encounter.
Specialist support for students with
Special Educational Needs and
Disabilities (SEND)
Every student should have the opportunity to
experience success, and we recognise that some
students need more support than others. Our aim
is to give students with SEND equal opportunities
to take part in all aspects of college life. We do
this by providing an individualised programme
of support. The first step is to make sure that we
understand exactly the type of support that is
needed, and we would ask you to contact us as
early as possible during the application process.
