From the Preston College
At Preston College, we take great pride in helping all of our students earn the credentials and outcomes they want as well as the specialised training, knowledge, and skills that businesses and institutions require. In other words, we want to help students succeed in their chosen vocations and become the most employable. More than 90% of 16 to 18-year-old full-time students who continue their education by signing up for additional classes, an apprenticeship, or a job find actual success. It's still widely believed that the sole route to a college education is through the A-Levels. With a high rate of College students successfully gaining admission to universities, our variety of Level 3 Extended Diplomas, which practically equal three A-Levels, are recognised as an appropriate entry point into higher education. According to recent studies, 85% of occupations in 2030 won't exist yet and one-third of all employment is significantly at risk from automation. Preston College provides a wide selection of industry-focused technical and professional programmes at all grade levels. A particular focus is placed on helping students become resilient and adaptable so they can deal with the ongoing change in the workplace. Our relationships with businesses and employers ensure that our services and work history are of the highest calibre and relevance. Our industry-standard facilities, staff who are subject matter experts in their industries, and welcoming and caring atmosphere make the College an exciting and enjoyable place to be. We can't wait for you to enrol at Preston College.
