What do I need to know before I start?

We expect no prior experience of Tech Lancaster courses or knowledge about the electronics industry to complete TL1 as it is a basic introduction, however a technical aptitude and a willingness to learn new skills is desirable. Our tutors are available to assist participants when needed, including group and one-to-one learning, however we also recommend that a flexible approach to learning is taken - we hope participants will take the initiative where they see their skills need improving in other areas e.g. basic maths and will undertake extra study as required. This extra study may include for example using other online resources such as BBC Bitesize which is a high quality learning resource for all levels.
