About The College:
As Scotland's oldest College, we understand the difference education makes not only to individuals, but also to families and the communities where we live.
Our aim is to provide all our learners with an outstanding learning experience. We are very much aware that our students come from wide ranging and diverse backgrounds; people who have been away from
education for many years, those who are employed and looking to develop or change their career, people with additional support needs, school leavers and people who are unemployed all wanting to enhance their employment opportunities, their confidence or just develop new interests.
Coming to College is all about developing your independence, making new friends, taking advantage of new opportunities and learning new skills for your future career. Just like life, the more you put in, the more you will get out of your time at College.
If you'd like to find out more about the College, why not come along to one of our information days. These take place in March, June and August each year - contact our Student Services team for more information.
