We always try to make sure what you learn will prepare you for real working life, so you'll gain practical skills. You'll get the chance to practice what you've learned in real working conditions for example our Hair and Beauty students have salons to work in that are just like what you see on the high street. We also have radio and TV recording studios, and workshops for construction skills all based on what you find on a real site.

Inside View
Channelle Zeini, Travel and Tourism
"I studied Travel and Tourism at the College in 2008. Since completing the course I’ve gone on to do a BA in International Tourism Management and I now have a job working for Swissport at Gatwick Airport as a Passenger Service Agent. I would recommend the course because it’s a good foundation for when you go to university or into the workplace. The lecturers at College have all worked in the industry and have travelled all around the world. The course gave me the foundations of theory which I can now put into practice."
