Our Facilities

Students spend 80% of their time in a classroom environment at UAH. Our well-equipped IT suite of rooms allows students to be taught theory and also engage with our highly trained staff as well as visiting employers. The Commercial Networking Suite focuses on teaching students the intricacies of cabling: all students are given the opportunity to pass their CICSO qualification alongside their T Level.  The Commercial Networking Suite was refitted out solely to deliver the T-Level course in 2021 and has two server racks that form the isolated network with our 17 work stations. The facility allows students to gain hands on experience in designing and implementing network topologies in packet tracer; configuring switches, routers and cabling the hardware.
