TEXTBOOK FUND - Woodworker
Buying new textbooks is a significant expense for students and their parents, so we offer the possibility to borrow school textbooks. Our textbook stock includes all textbooks approved in the catalogue of textbooks for vocational, technical and other professional schools. We have sets of textbooks for all programmes in all years of study, and students can also borrow individual textbooks.
The loan fee is one third of the value of the textbooks.
The list of textbooks and the loan notices for the 2021/22 textbook fund and other teaching materials developed by the teachers' professional bodies are available at the links below:
