HOW WE CAN HELP

The College is dedicated to making education accessible and affordable to everyone. That’s why many of our courses are funded by the Education Skills Funding Agency, meaning that they are free for full-time students aged 16 to 18.

We also offer a wide range of courses that are either free or partially funded for those aged 19 and over.

The College offers funding support to help cover additional costs such as course equipment, uniforms, meals, childcare, travel, and even course trips. Eligibility criteria applies.

Our goal is to ensure that every student has access to the support they need to succeed.
