A tailored approach to meet your business needs In November 2018, Nelson and Colne College and Accrington and Rossendale College completed a successful merger to create a single college, building on the strengths of both institutions to ensure the highest quality education and technical skills for all. The success of our local communities, employers, partners and economy sits at the heart of all we do. We have forged valuable partnerships and a shared vision with like-minded organisations and individuals, creating a network of opportunity and excellence.

R gr fe

The newly-merged College now offers over 90 Apprenticeship frameworks and standards that can also be delivered within the workplace to upskill existing employees within the following sectors: Business and Finance

Manufacturing

Hair and Beauty

Sales, Marketing and Procurement

Engineering

Catering and Hospitality

Digital and IT

Health and Social Care

Sport and Leisure

Leadership and Management

Education and Childcare

Construction

Retail

Facilities Management

Motor Vehicle

The best investment you can make for your business We believe that Apprenticeships can significantly improve the performance of every business. They are a highly respected and cost effective way of delivering training and professional development to employees by combining relevant and recognised qualifications with innovative, high quality, practical training solutions. Apprenticeships ensure that the workforce develops the technical knowledge and practical skills that your business needs both now and in the future.

What makes Apprenticeships and training with us unique? We have a long and proud reputation with businesses across East Lancashire and beyond, and employers choose us because we make sure our Apprenticeships and training are flexible and tailored to meet business needs. Examples of what we can offer include:

Bespoke workshops

Toolbox talks

Short courses such as First Aid and Health and Safety

Leadership and Management qualifications

Apprenticeships by Nelson and Colne College and Accrington and Rossendale College are dynamic and are shaped by the power of three: the college, the employer and the Apprentice.

Rosslee Construction Managing Director Gary Clarkson (centre) pictured with Principal Amanda Melton and Apprentice Oliver Shipston.

Gary Clarkson, Managing Director at Rosslee Construction, said: “We’ve been employing Apprentices from Accrington and Rossendale College for over 30 years as they are valued assets to the company, who contribute greatly to its performance. “We will always have first, second and third year Apprentices as they are integral to the success of the business.

We ensure that all Apprentices have first-class support, a highly experienced Trainer Assessor and that each business has a dedicated Account Manager as a key point of contact throughout the partnership.

“When an Apprentice progresses to Level 3, they are skilled professionals that play a pivotal role within the company. Watching an Apprentice grow into a skilled tradesman is extremely satisfying.

Our results are reflected by the time and commitment we put in to ensuring there is a cultural match between Apprentice and employer – and this has ensured our Apprenticeship achievement rates are consistently 20% above the national average.

“One of the site managers started out as a College Apprentice, so there are always progression opportunities after completing an Apprenticeship.”
