Welcome to Telford College

Telford College is the largest further education centre in Shropshire and is recognised as a major training hub for employers across the region.

The college’s vision is to become an ‘ethical skills eco-system’ for the Marches and West Midlands, working in close partnership with stakeholders, partners, and local businesses, offering a broad range of courses.

Telford College is going through an exciting time, having had a full inspection in February 2022 recognised as ‘Good’ Education provider by Ofsted; and Outstanding Financial Health, to move forward in a strong position for growth.

We recognise and celebrate each other’s collective strengths and collaborate to maximise opportunities. The spirit of partnerships with shared ethics and values is key to our vision and our strategic plan prioritising contemporary reaching and learning, expanding learning opportunities, working in harmony with partners, investing in green activities and enhancing the local economy.

We seek to attract and retain staff of the highest calibre who are proud of our achievements and wish to be an integral part of our ongoing and future successes.

Each academic year, Telford College plans to engage with more than 2,000 young people in college-based programmes, plus more than 700 apprentices and over 3,000 adult learners.

A particular priority is to help students living in deprived areas – more than 40% of the college’s young people and 45% of its adult learners live in areas which are officially classed as deprived. 

For every £1 of Government funding, Telford College’s A level, apprenticeship and higher education courses generate a return of more than £25 to the local economy – and collaboration with local employers is at the heart of everything we do.

Our growing range of Employer Hubs are already strengthening these links, and opening up exciting new career opportunities for students.

We are proud to be named among the top 25% of providers nationally, with 96% of our students receiving offers from their first-choice university. 

At Telford College, we put students first and they are at the centre of everything we do. We are fully inclusive for all, and we are proud of the diversity of our student community. We believe in supporting and celebrating all students, from every social background, every race, and every learning background.
