In the workshop
Technical work, taught practically.
The same approach runs through the school's electrical programme, instruments in hand, on a real board.
The CBT centre
250 machines, under one roof.
One of the largest computer-based test centres of any school in the state, and the reason Life Baker can run a national competition on its own equipment rather than hiring a hall.
