Welcome to St Helens College

We are committed to ensuring every student reaches their full potential by providing an outstanding student experience.

Providing quality education since 1896, St Helens College is one of the largest further and higher education providers in the Northwest.

We support students of all ages, studying at all levels, and provide courses and training to around 5,000 students across four campuses within two local authority boroughs, as a part of a merger with Knowsley Community College in 2017.

Our strong progression routes enable students to join us at the age of 16 to study T Levels, a technical, vocational qualification, or an apprenticeship, before then continuing their educational journey to degree level study and beyond at our University Centre St Helens.

There is also a breadth of adult provision at St Helens College from short, leisure courses and community learning to professional qualifications to enhance employment prospects and support career progression.

In recent years, over £65 million has been invested in facilities to support our broad and inclusive curriculum, whilst providing a first-class learning experience for our students including a new hospital simulation ward, Centre for Precision Engineering and Green Energy Skills Centre.

We are actively involved in our local communities, offering high-quality training and education opportunities to both residents and businesses. This collaboration not only enables us to provide excellent work experience, employment and apprenticeship opportunities for our students but also supports employers across the Liverpool City Region to build a skilled workforce for the future.

We hope that you will find our website useful and we look forward to welcoming you to St Helens College in the near future.
