University campus
We are providing regular information and support to all our current and prospective students.
Full-time students
We have now returned to face-to-face teaching and are welcoming students back onto campus. This academic year we are using both our Lovat Lane campus and Peninsular House to deliver teaching. In line with government guidance, we do not have any social distancing measures currently in place. Masks are no longer required on campus from 27th January. Wearing a mask or not will be a personal choice after this date, but the government does suggest that you wear one in crowded, indoor spaces. Mask rules will remain in place on TfL and other London transport services.
Following positive feedback from students, we have retained some elements of online provision, such as the introductory videos to weekly topics and online assessments, alongside the extra mental health support we’ve put in place. You can now contact the HEP team at the support desk on 8th floor of Peninsular House, by email at HEP@libf.ac.uk or by phone on 0207 337 6294/3.

School qualifications
January exams 2022
Recent communications sent from the Department for Education (DfE) to centres state:
“There are exams for vocational and technical qualifications timetabled for January. Students who are due to sit these exams will be prepared and it is right that they should be given every opportunity to demonstrate what they have learnt. Exams and formal assessments will go ahead. Consequently, it is essential that students continue to prepare for these assessments.”
Therefore all exams, including Level 3 CeFS/DipFS, remain scheduled to take place in line with our key dates document.
We previously provided details to centres at the end of October of any adaptations for our qualifications and these are now on Brightspace. Please note that these adaptations apply to the exams sat this academic year and to the qualifications completing in summer 2022 only.
If you have any questions about the exams, or face any challenges delivering them, please contact our support team at fcexams@libf.ac.uk.
Should you encounter any issues delivering the exams and need to submit a special consideration request, please read our special consideration policy (pdf).
