WHAT TO BRING
General
It is important to bring the correct clothing for the climate. Clothing and equipment need not be new, but should
be in good order.
If you are staying in the Halls of Residence, or shared accommodation, it is strongly recommended that you label
washable items (plus wet weather gear, boots etc.) with your name, so that you can identify them easily in the
communal laundry and drying facilities.
The following is a general list of clothing and equipment that you are recommended to bring to Telford.
Note: Textbooks are available for purchase through Telford. Agriculture and Diploma
purchased after the course has started; this enables the latest version to be available.
