Message from the Principal

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all prospective students, whether you have studied with us before, or whether you are just starting out at College. We are proud to have helped thousands of people like you to gain qualifications with us, at a range of levels and in hundreds of different subjects.

In the current economic climate I would like to encourage you to continue your education and update your skills. It may be that you would like to brush on your English or Maths skills to enhance your employment prospects or you may be thinking about a more advanced level of study to get onto the next step of your career ladder.

For employers in the borough and beyond our Business Development team is always on-hand to discuss how we can offer training to develop your workforce.


Our aim is to provide high-quality training and education where 'students come first'. Many of our courses are subsidised and some students may be entitled to free courses or a reduction in fees, subject to evidence.

The quality of our student support has been widely recognised and we continue to strive to raise the standards of our teaching and learning. Your success is important to us and our professional staff will encourage you to achieve your ambitions.

The College is at the heart of the community, with courses offered at many local venues or employer premises, in addition to our main buildings. I hope that you will find an option that is of interest to you that could help shape your career.

I wish you every success for your future and hope that you choose Wigan & Leigh College.

Cath Hurst
Principal
