Welcome
We are the largest provider of further education in Stoke and North Staffordshire, with around 5,000 students each year on full-time and part-time study programmes, apprenticeships, professional qualifications and university-level courses.
We also help thousands of local people each year to gain the basic skills needed for work, be it English and maths, employability skills or specific work-related qualifications.
Our students routinely win awards in regional and national competitions and the challenge helps to unleash their talent and prepare them for the competitive world of employment.
