Accrington Rossendale College Prospectus 2019-20

WELCOME

Welcome...

Accrington and Rossendale College is a career focused, vocational college dedicated to getting all our students into good jobs which give real career opportunities. We are a ‘GOOD’ college and this has been recognised externally in our recent Ofsted inspection and we feel that this exactly reflects the enthusiasm and dedication of our staff. At Accrington and Rossendale College we are confident that our focus is teaching the skills for employment across a wide range of subjects from Construction to IT, Hairdressing to Motor Engineering and Catering to Sport. All our tutors are time served tradespeople with a passion and enthusiasm for their trade and a commitment to pass on their skills to the next generation. Time and again this passion is recognised by the students we teach and the employers with whom we work closely at Accrington and Rossendale College. We are confident that our tutors are what make the difference and set us apart from other local colleges – our tutors really care.

Our college is big enough to have excellent links with industry and we have some fantastic sponsors and a partnership with Risual which allows us to offer the best Microsoft training available. Our college is also small enough to care about the welfare and success of every individual student with a safe green campus right in the heart of #AmazingAccrington. We look forward to welcoming you to our college, to getting your career started and to opening new opportunities for you – at Accrington and Rossendale College we really can make a difference for YOU. There currently is a proposal to merge Nelson and Colne College with Accrington and Rossendale College. The vision is to create a new outstanding multi-site college for East Lancashire, building on our existing strengths to serve the needs of adults, young people and employers. The proposal will have no impact on the current courses we offer or their location. If successful, the merger is likely to take place in November 2018.
