The College Group is the only Further Education college in Lancashire to be graded as 'Outstanding' under the new Ofsted inspection framework and the only college to maintain `Outstanding` status for the last 20 years.



Together the Group forms a Sixth Form, Skills and Technology Centre, University Centre, employer training and adult learning provider delivering exceptional teaching and learning to all ages and at all levels.



Nelson and Colne College has a national reputation for educational success that generations of families have benefited from.

The vocational and technical career is ambitious for every learner, career-focused and built around carefully planned destinations, with each learner on the right programme based on their individual career aim and prior achievement. With a strong focus on developing "Work Ready" skills learners benefit from a curriculum that has been designed to equip learners with the behaviours, attitudes and aptitudes which employers value the most.
