Dundee and Angus College have begun the rollout of twice-weekly rapid coronavirus tests for students and staff.
All staff and students who attending the college will be able to take part in the testing programme, even if they have no coronavirus symptoms.
It comes after lateral flow tests were rolled out across Scotland, allowing anyone to order packs to do the tests at home for free.
Dundee and Angus College said it had followed all public health guidance throughout the pandemic, and wanted to make the safety and wellbeing of students and staff its top priority.

Students and staff are now able to access rapid coronavirus testing through their local college.
More than 100,000 lateral flow testing kits have been distributed to colleges across Scotland to help detect cases in people with no symptoms.
Authorities are urging people to take part in voluntary testing twice a week using the at-home kits.
A limited number of students are currently allowed on to college campuses at any one time in line with current public health guidance, with safety measures such as social distancing in place.
