We offer courses from Levels 1-4, so whatever stage you’re at in your education, we can guide you in developing your practical and academic skills. Our goal is to equip you with the tools you need to move onto Higher Education or straight into work. At Level 2 you choose to specialise in Art & Design or Photography. At Level 3 you choose to specialise in either Photography, Graphics & 3D, Fashion & Textiles or Fine Art. Technology and its use will play a key role in your study and creative practice. Vocationally, we will provide you with an awareness of historical, contemporary and emerging Art & Design issues, within your chosen specialist area as well as developing your practical skills. We are one of the best equipped F.E. Colleges in the country for Art & Design. We have a range of dedicated Art Studios, Photography Studios, a professional dark room and Apple Mac suites. These computers have a full range of professionally relevant software including Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. We also have industry-standard equipment including professional cameras. We frequently work in partnership with a range of external companies, which provide work-related opportunities and the chance to exhibit work on a public platform. Our photography courses are supported by global organisation Trend Micro and this relationship benefits our students by offering them great opportunities such as real design briefs, external exhibitions, the opportunity to build professional contacts and for some, financial support towards study. Throughout all of our courses we embed employability skills and support you in applying for further study or employment.
