All programmes are developed in line with industry demand to ensure that they provide the right skills for progression to further study or employment.

South West College principal and chief executive Celine McCartan explained: “Deciding on the next step after leaving school can be a daunting and anxious time and young people and parents don’t always know what career courses or learning opportunities are available to them.

"With the growing costs of university tuition fees and living costs, it is vital that young people wishing to obtain qualifications are aware of the range of options available to help them make better, informed choices and I would encourage them to look at the provision that’s on offer at their local Further Education College as they look to the next step of their educational journey.”
