How to use the directory
Two key questions asked by learners when choosing a specialist college are:
- Will the college meet my needs?
- Where is it?
This website offers a number of ways to access college details including alphabetical listings and the College Finder.
The Curriculum and Support offered to Learners can be used as a checklist to choose which colleges are most suitable. By matching the requirements of the prospective student against this checklist, it is possible to select a shortlist of colleges.
All colleges can be contacted for their current prospectus.
Colleges that have been inspected by Ofsted since January 2002 have their reports published on the Ofsted website.
