At Northumberland College we are dedicated to helping people to achieve their dreams and ambitions, whatever they may be. However you see your future unfolding, we can help you make it happen.
Northumberland College is the college for Northumberland.
It is the only education and training institution in the region that offers training from campuses and centres across Northumberland.
Our two main campuses are at Ashington and Kirkley Hall – both established for more than 50 years. Ashington is home to the majority of full and part-time courses we run, while Kirkley Hall, near Ponteland, hosts our land-based training.
We also have three centres in Berwick – including our construction centre and a high street hair and beauty training salon.
In Alnwick our Fenkle Street centre in the heart of the market town includes a fully equipped IT suite and offers a wide range of short courses, from computing to childcare.
The Blyth centre also hosts a range of short courses including business and administration and IT and also boasts teacher assistant training.
Prudhoe is home to another construction training centre, catering for both school age and adult students, delivered in partnership with Tynedale Virtual College , in conjunction with Tyne Valley high schools.
Short courses are also run at a number of other locations, including Shilbottle Skills Centre, the Cheviot Centre in Wooler and premises in Seahouses, Choppington and Lynemouth.
In the past year alone we have created a new learning resource centre and cafe, a new art, design and multimedia block, and a new Info Zone providing award-winning information, advice and guidance.
Our sports halls at Ashington and Kirkley Hall are the focal point for most sporting and recreational activities, with a variety of college clubs and sports teams on offer. Further developments will see wider use for our base at Carlcroft in the Cheviot Hills , offering a number of outdoor pursuits.
