Around 4,500 students attend Calderdale College. Our main campus is located at Francis Street in Halifax, but we also offer courses in engineering and motor vehicles at our Motivate Center. The Warwick Centre for Education and Industry's Excellence in Enterprise Education (CEI) award was given to the College in 2012. For students studying engineering and motor vehicles, our Motivate Center serves as a hub where they may work with actual automobiles. Our 2013-opened Brickwork Workshop offers students the chance to work on actual projects. A multipurpose sports hall, 3G pitch, rock climbing wall fitness suite, full-sized grass pitch, and dance studio are now located in our 8-meter Inspire Center. Cuisine 1893 is the ideal location for our Catering & Hospitality students to master new skills and practise using equipment used in commercial kitchens. FC Halifax Town, Pro-Coach Yorkshire Cricket, and Halifax RLFC are our three educational sport partners (the training arm of Yorkshire CCC). Our Center of Excellence students receive coaching and access to these partners' facilities. The college's business services division, Calderdale College Apprenticeships, collaborates with more than 750 businesses in the area.
