ONCE AT COLLEGE
Every student is assigned a Group Tutor, who will monitor progress throughout the year and discuss course work, progression opportuinites, career plans and support needs.  Towards the end of the course the focus will be on the next step for the student whether it be employment or progression to another course of study, either at Inverness College UHI or elsewhere.

GUIDANCE POLICY
We recognise that the process of guidance begins before you start college, continues through your time at college and also helps you prepare for leaving college and continuing on.  This involves four stages of guidance:

1.  Pre-entry and pre-course
2.  On-entry and induction
3.  On-course
4.  Pre-exit
