Our students come first and everything we do is aimed at helping you to realise your full potential.

As a college, we’re focused on ensuring you have the skills and confidence to be successful in your chosen profession. Our staff will take the time to chat to you about your career aspirations and help you to find the best study option for you to be able to secure your dream career after college.

With five college locations in Lichfield, Tamworth, Cannock and Rodbaston, we provide courses to suit every learning style which will help you develop essential employability and interpersonal skills.

We offer full-time and part-time courses, T-levels, apprenticeships, short courses and university-level courses, all designed to enhance the skills you need and give you a competitive edge in the job market.

As a school leaver, you will be treated as an adult, within a friendly and supportive environment. You’ll enjoy more freedom and independence, and you’ll make many new friends, all with the same passion and journey ahead as you.

As an adult, we understand you may feel uneasy about returning to education, but there is no need to be. We have smaller class sizes and supportive tutors to make you feel very welcome.

Every year, over 10,000 learners choose us. Why? Because we are driven to inspire, empower and equip you with the skills employers want. We’re proud to offer a safe, friendly and inclusive learning environment where you can achieve your potential.

Our easy-to-reach college locations offer amazing facilities. We have trade workshops, engineering hubs, commercial standard kitchens and restaurants, stylish hair and beauty salons, an on-site zoo, an art gallery, automotive training, a digital skills hub, a net zero energy training centre and a dance studio, just to name just a few.

Join South Staffordshire College and we’ll help you to gain the skills you need for a fulfilling career. Come along to one of our open events to look around and speak to our friendly and helpful staff. Book your place at southstaffs.ac.uk/open-days.
