Stafford College, part of the Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group (NSCG), is excited to welcome new and existing students to its brand new 28m Skills and Innovation Centre this September.
The Class of 2023 will be among the first to benefit from the range of industry standard facilities and first-class resources available at our multi-million pound extension which boasts construction and engineering workshops, hybrid vehicle technology facilities, a four-court sports hall, gym and 300-seat auditorium.
Your Bright Future
As a leading Staffordshire college, NSCG offers a variety of pathways to enable students to define their future and gain the qualifications needed for their chosen career. With more subject and study options to choose from than those traditionally offered in school, learners are able to select the subjects that interest them and which provide the best combination for their future career. Situated in the heart of Stafford and conveniently located next to Stafford Railway Station, students can choose from a huge variety of subjects in study options including A-levels, A+ programmes, vocational courses, T Levels and apprenticeships. The central location means we also benefit from strong employer partnerships having nurtured successful relationships with many companies and businesses across the West Midlands.
