Principal and Chief Executive

One of the largest College’s in the U.K. with the facilities and resources to match. Our courses aim to equip people with the skills they need to succeed in the workplace. Our focus is on practical courses that work – for young people, adults and employers. 

We’re at the heart of the City’s regeneration agenda. The new John Seddon Building Technology Centre in Burslem is already equipping local people with the skills needed for the construction industry. Ambitious plans are in place to further develop buildings and facilities at both Cauldon and Burslem Campuses. 

The College has some of the highest success rates in Staffordshire. We hold Centre of Vocational Excellence status in three critical areas for the local economy: Care, Construction and Business & Professional Services.
