Leicester College

Leicester College is one of the largest colleges in the UK and is a major provider of education to young people, adults and employers in Leicestershire.

We offer a huge selection of courses and qualifications in hundreds of subjects from entry level to university level with an emphasis on vocational learning as well as academic achievements. Regardless of your needs, interests or circumstances we offer everything an individual or business requires. Whatever you want from the College, you can be safe in the knowledge it has a reputation for excellence both locally and nationally, with an OFSTED rating of good overall and outstanding in a number of areas. We have worked hard to achieve and maintain our reputation.

We are particularly proud of our excellence in Sound and Music, which has seen us become the region’s only Roland Music Academy and an Apple and Ableton accredited centre.

Our role as a leader in training for Food and Drink Manufacturing, Retail and Materials Production and Supply was acknowledged with membership of the National Skills Academy (NSA) network in these areas. The College has also been awarded Founder College status of the National Skills Academy for Creative and Cultural Skills. We have achieved certification in the Training Quality Standard - an assessment framework designed to recognise and celebrate the best organisations delivering training and development solutions.

Our commitment to quality means the College is a regular award winner. Most notably we were recently awarded the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) Leading the Learner Voice Award for Community and Social Cohesion.
We have also received the Charter Mark, the Government’s national quality standard for customer excellence. The College has gained accreditation against the Matrix quality standard for information, advice and guidance services for Employer Engagement. And when it comes to responsibility to the environment, we are leading the way, beating Cambridge University into second place to win the Green Gown Award in the Carbon Reduction Category.
Leicester College has also been named as an Association of Colleges Beacon Award winner for its ‘striking’ efforts to encourage social integration.
We won the Churches’ Award for Sustainable College Partnerships that Recognise Diversity and Develop People and Communities for its community cohesion action plan. The College has held the Investors in People award for a number of years, which is a national standard based on the principle that the success of an organisation depends on the involvement, improvement and development of its people.
