Come to our Open Event on Thursday 7th February 2019 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm to discover a wide range of apprenticeships, diplomas and degrees. 

From learning about mental health and dementia to customer service and nutrition, our online qualifications are perfect if you'd like to study from home and flexibily in your own time.

It's your chance to gain employment and an apprenticeship. Come and see what happens at Ichiban in Stowmarket, find out more about the Access to Apprenticeship Programme and discover what jobs you can go into after you complete.

For a 30 day period we are looking to welcome visitors and students into the college at the start of the day.

The only entrances that will be open will be:

• Gateway reception
• Suffolk House
• The entrance gate near Minden House
• The gate alongside Leonardo House

All other entrances will be closed.

This in a new initiative for a 30 day period after which we will be reviewing the experience and impact on all.

Thank you for your support.

Travel and Tourism students recently visited Virgin Atlantic Airlines for their annual Cabin Crew training day.

Creative and Commercial BA (Hons) students did front of house engineering for Ed Sheeran at the Roundhouse in Camden. Year 3 Davide Lombardi was Front of House Mix Engineer for the worthy event (Music for Mental Health) with three more degree students training with him. The event was a great success and all students got some of Ed’s guitar strings and a plectrum.

We are proud to be ranked the 3rd best college in the country in the prestigious NICDEX league table published by FE Week.
