Buxton & Leek College is offering just that opportunity on Saturday, March 12 from 10am until 1pm when the college invites school leavers, parents and adult learners to an Open Day running simultaneously across campuses in both Buxton and Leek.

Students in Years 10 and 11 of school are invited to check out the college environment for the first time and the many options on offer, touring facilities, speaking to tutors and watching course demonstrations.

Budding motor vehicle technicians can head to the college’s training centre at Harpur Hill Business Park and check out the industry-standard training facilities there, while over at The Dome, there’s all sorts of exciting activities to get involved with and subjects to learn more about, from public services, culinary, sport, business, IT, media, hair & beauty, childcare, and more.

Leek campus Open Day offers the chance to check out the £8.5 million redeveloped facilities – with a chance to talk to tutors in art and design, carpentry, engineering, hair and beauty, health & social care, and more.

A college spokesperson said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for young people to sample a ‘taste’ of a course area, that they have a genuine interest in, as well as experiencing how different college life is from being at school.”

Adult learners are also encouraged to come along and find out about the wealth of career improving short courses available in finance, business, health, education and more.

Need to resit your Maths and English GCSEs? There’s help on hand with that too, with free advice offered at both campuses.

Buxton & Leek College Open Day will take place on Saturday, March 12 from 10am to 1pm. There will also be an Open Day on May 14, between the same times of 10am and 1pm.

People can book places online at www.blc.ac.uk or call 0800 074 0099.
