More than 10,000 students per year chose to study with us on more than 900 different courses at our Centres across West London. We have developed a rich and varied curriculum of a wide variety of courses, many taught by practising professionals. Approximately 15% of the student population is aged 16-18. We also work in partnership with local schools in West London to deliver a vocational curriculum for 14-16 year olds.
Students enjoy a wide range of amenities at the College, including Learning Resource Centres, which offer modern IT and library services, cafes and childcare provision (at our Wornington centre). More importantly, 2011 will see the completion of our brand new centre at Hortensia Road providing our students with the best learning environment and resources to succeed in a fresh, modern and vibrant learning space.
Our Construction Skills Centre opened in Autumn 2007 at the Park Royal industrial estate, provides vocational skills together with enhanced IT skills and general employability support and employment mentoring. Maxilla Walk similarly provides a good range of programmes and support focussed on 16-18 year olds.
We also have a dedicated team who operate across all sites to deliver Work Based Learning and Train to Gain services to meet the needs of local employers. It provides:
- A one stop shop service for learners & jobseekers and those already in work wishing to upskill
- A commitment to innovation to reduce worklessness amongst the socially excluded
The college is proud to deliver education and training at specialist facilities in all 9 London prisons and contributes to crime reduction and reducing re-offending. We help ex-offenders into sustainable work including self-employment and are actively involved in related community regeneration
So, whether you are returning to learning, pursuing a passion or wanting to achieve qualifications for personal or professional development let your learning journey begin with us.
We look forward to welcoming you to Kensington and Chelsea College.
