For Open Days at the College:

Please be aware that we have removed our COVID restrictions but we still ensure the college is a safe place to visit and study with measures in place such as enhanced cleaning, safe air purification of the classrooms during the day and overnight and plenty of air ventilation in classrooms and other rooms, when required.

You are very welcome to wear a mask if you wish to.

If you feel unwell on the day you are due to attend an Open Day, please stay at home and book yourself onto another Open Day. 

If you need to bring someone with you on the day to help you, you will need to let us know as soon as possible as spaces are limited and they will need to register to attend through our website. Otherwise, we respectfully request you do not bring friends/family with you unless they are interested in finding out more about our courses and they register to attend the Open Day through our website.

Please let us know if you are no longer able to attend by emailing [email protected]

Why not take a look at our courses before you join us?

Our courses are funded mostly by the West Midlands Combined Authority and are for people who were over the age of 19 by 31st July 2022 and living in the West Midlands county which includes Birmingham, the Black Country areas including Wolverhampton, Sandwell, Dudley and Walsall as well as Solihull and Coventry.  If you are interested in applying for a course but you do not live in any of these areas, please contact the Admissions team on 0121 472 0116 or email [email protected] to see if you are eligible to apply.
