Warwickshire College Group provides proven, high quality education, training, skills and qualifications for individuals and organisations, at a local, national and international level.

We are a progressive college group with enterprise at its heart. Our students get more than just a qualification – we will help them develop the employability skills for a successful future career in an ever-competitive world.

We offer students the opportunity to gain ‘real world’ experience, work in commercial environments and attend unique events and masterclasses so they have the right knowledge, skills and approaches to succeed in a dynamic and challenging economy.

We are committed to supporting businesses in the region by providing work-ready people with the skills, qualities and attitudes needed to make a real impact in today’s workplace.

Excellent results

Our A-level pass rate is 98.4% with 100% pass rate in 16 subjects. And our success rates are in the top 25% of all general FE colleges in the country.
