Open Days for Professionals working with people with sight loss

For the many professional organisations working with visually impaired clients, we offer their staff the opportunity to visit RNC on one of our nine Open Days across the year.

Open days are an ideal way for you to get a flavour of life at RNC. We recommend you visit RNC during a designated Open Day, but if any of the following dates aren't suitable, please call RNC Marketing on 01432 376622 and we will be happy to arrange something more convenient.

Please call our enquiries line on 01432 376621 to arrange a visit to RNC.

Visits to RNC for potential students

We don't believe in big impersonal open days for potential students, we prefer to offer indivudally tailored visits for you and your family so you can really get an idea of how you would benefit from studying at RNC. Please call the RNC Enquiry Line on 01432 376621 and we will be happy to arrange a convenient date.
