Information for Parents
Be assured that your child is in good hands. Our team of experts in areas like financial support, learning support, counselling and SERC Extra are all here to ensure that students can address any difficulties that face them. We want to ensure that they have no barriers to successfully completing their course. In 2011/12 we have introduced new measures to improve discipline levels and have improved our student induction process to ensure that everyone is aware of the services available to them.
With increasing unemployment levels amongst 16 to 25 year olds SERC is dedicated to providing a service, beyond the qualification, which is designed to help your son/daughter to be job ready.
This includes the chance to be involved in setting up and running a commercial SERC Student Company, working on ‘real life’ industry projects from businesses like Coca Cola and Randox and gain work placements or experience in a range of local companies.
SERC is your local college and we work hard to deliver value for money for you. Our performance in key areas of student retention, achievement and success are the highest in the sector; high levels of our students move on to further or higher education or into employment and we save hundreds of thousands of public money each year by keeping students on courses.

Yes support is available to all our students who feel they need extra help on their course. The first thing your child should do is speak to their class tutor, to see if they can provide any assistance to them.
If the reason they are struggling can not be worked out with the tutor your child should contact SERC Extra. A SERC Extra member of staff is located at each of our main campuses, they will talk to them and will be able to signpost them to other services, including learning support, which can provide additional support for them as they study.
