What we offer
If you're looking for an alternative to college or university, where you can earn and learn your way into a job that suits your passion, we can help. For information on how we can help, email recruitment@gceducationandskills.ac.uk.
Apprenticeships
We have a wide-range of apprenticeships on offer - from engineering and manufacturing to IT and digital.

Our courses are delivered part-time and are the perfect option for people who want to balance work and home life with studying.
Adult courses
We offer a range of courses for adults looking to learn a trade, secure a job or work towards a professional qualification.
