Why choose Nelson and Colne College for your Apprenticeship?
Our Apprenticeship success rates are amongst the best in the UK.
We work with many top employers from across East Lancashire who are seeking their company's next star.
Our apprentices are given the very best guidance and support throughout their Apprenticeship programme to help them to achieve their ambitions.
If you are not quite ready for an apprenticeship, we will work with you to help you develop these skills and your qualifications to progress.
We have an extremely high success rate for our apprentices being kept on into full-time employment - some of our students now even run their own businesses and take on their own apprentices.
