Specialist Services and Facilities

Take advantage of what Wigan & Leigh College has to offer.

Our students experience the world of work on many of their vocational courses. We have a fully equipped training restaurant, travel shop and hair and beauty salons. You can use any of these facilities, as a customer, at very low prices and be confident that all students are fully supervised by experienced staff.

The new Wheel Restaurant
Our brand new facilities offer 3 course lunches and dinners at very reasonable prices. Themed events and special evenings are also on offer. Meals are prepared, made and served by students who will progress on to the catering and hospitality industry.

For further information please call 01942 761888.

Counselling & Wellbeing Service
Wigan and Leigh College offers a free Counselling Service to all students. You can talk to a Counsellor about anything that might be worrying or upsetting you, whether it be about College-related issues or about personal issues outside of College. Counselling provides the opportunity and space for you to talk about things that may be difficult to share with anyone else. It can help you find more effective ways of coping and help you to understand your feelings better. It can also be about a need to find out about yourself and what you want out of life. It is about being accepted rather than judged or criticised. It is not about giving advice or telling you what to do.

You can arrange to see a Counsellor by calling 01942 761687. Or you can find out more about counselling by talking to your Tutor, Student Liaison Officer or other member of staff. Alternatively contact Student Services at any of our Campuses.

The Business Centre
Our Business and IT centres at Parsons Walk and Railway Road offer professionally supervised services for the College, Individuals and the Business community. We will endeavour to undertake any administrative task you require whilst maintaining confidentiality and data protection requirements. We can also provide your area or business with work placements or temporary staff, subject to requirements of the course.
