Email security is a term for describing different procedures and techniques for protecting email accounts, content, and communication against unauthorised access, loss or compromise. Email is often used to spread malware, spam and phishing attacks.
Attackers use deceptive messages to entice recipients to part with sensitive information, open attachments or click on hyperlinks that install malware on the victim’s device.
To access Outlook, follow the links to O365 on Moodle or visit Office.com and login with your college e-mail address and NPTC password. These were sent to you when you first enrolled.
College e-mail address: student number (aka 'person code') followed by @nptcgroup.ac.uk. e.g. 123456@nptcgroup.ac.uk.
New students: your initial password will be your student number + your postcode, e.g. 123456SA107RF (you can change this at any time by logging in to a PC when you are on campus).
Returning students: continue to use your password from last year.
If you have forgotten your password contact IT Services

You can choose to use Microsoft 65 online but downloading the apps to your device will unlock more functionality than you get in the online version.
Downloading to a Windows PC or laptop: log on to Microsoft 365 and then click on the 'Install and more' button on the right hand side of the homepage.
Downloading to mobile devices:
You can download Microsoft 365 in the Apple store or Google Play, or you can download separate apps for each of the Microsoft 365 tools to iOS or Android devices. Search for the individual apps by name, e.g. Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Word, etc. All of the apps are free to download. Once installed, log on once with your college e-mail address and password.
