We offer the widest range of post-16 courses in the area and we have excellent links with employers - giving access to work placements that genuinely help improve career prospects. We also run an extensive range of Apprenticeships including higher apprenticeships which complement our degrees and foundation degrees offered through Anglia Ruskin University and our own Higher National Certificate and Diploma provision. In addition, we work extensively across the area working with adults by providing short vocational courses leading directly to employment.  

The College is a multi-million pound campus and substantial investment has resulted in buildings are which are truly inspirational and have cutting edge facilities. These include salons, restaurants, broadcast facilities, a theatre, recording and multimedia studios, a category C biohazard science lab, a healthcare mobility suite and a creche. The most recent of these is our Harlow Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Centre opening in January 2016 an £11 million investment.
