As well as providing full-time College courses we also boast a whole host of apprenticeships, enabling students to gain industry experience and earn a salary whilst achieving a relevant qualification.
All students are taught by expert tutors who have a wealth of experience in their industry as well as education.
Making the transition from school to college can be daunting for many but at Wigan & Leigh College we take pride in providing a strong pastoral system for students. Each Centre has a dedicated Head of Studies and Student Liaison Officers who support students through their studies and time at College. The College also provides a transition service through the School Liaison Team, who provide careers advice, support and sampling opportunities for students in Year 8 through to Year 11.
Our Fab Futures Team also provides learners with the knowledge and support to ensure they progress onto University, an Apprenticeship or employment at the end of their time at College. They can also assist with queries regarding available funding and financial assistance which will help during their studies.
Before enrolling onto a College course, parents and students are urged to visit one of our Open Events which are hosted throughout the academic year.
