Glossary
Nottingham College publishes a public glossary designed to help explain key terms or college-specific terminology. This glossary is publicly available on our website for reference.
Where possible for information published directly by the college, we try to ensure that any key terms are expanded in the first reference before using an acronym.
Our glossary contains various terms and definitions, including:
Nottingham College specific terminology such as systems, processes, or general operational areas.
Common Further Education or general education terms.
Local authority/government terms.
Key business terminology for employers or stakeholders.
Where a key term has a well-used/known acronym, it will be shown in our glossary to help map the two together.
