    Admission to Centre

    Apprentices must at all times enter the Centre by the designated student entrance only.  Parts of the site are 'Out of Bounds' unless instructions to the contrary are given.  Apprentices should not allow people to follow them through doors in the centres.

    Catering Facilities

    Hot and cold food and drinks are available for purchase from the Training Centres Refectory (Café). You may bring your own food to the centre however the canteen staff will not offer a reheat service or provide hot water for beverages or snack items.

    Food and drink is not permitted within the workshop, open IT or classrooms except for containers of liquid that can be completely sealed so there no possibility of spillage.

    The TTC has two internal dining areas (refectories) and an outside picnic area. All of these areas are self-clean. Apprentices using the outside area must dispose of rubbish in the appropriate bin and those using the internal dining areas are to return plates, cutlery etc. to the trolley provided in each area.  The dining area away from the workshop is a clean area therefore the wearing of overalls in this area is not permitted. Overalls must be completely removed before entering the area (even if only purchasing items to takeaway). Plates, cutlery etc. are not to be used in the picnic area or removed from the centre. Disposable containers are provided for takeaway food.

    The Hub has the one dining area which again is self-clean and all plates, cutlery etc. should be placed on the trolley provided in each area.

    Housekeeping

    It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that the Centre is kept in a well-maintained and presentable condition.  This means, that each area should be left in an acceptable condition and should be ready for use by the next person / group.  Apprentices will be required, under the guidance of their instructor to assist in maintaining this practice.  See also the Health and Safety Policy.
