College Site Tours
On this page you can book a tour of our full city centre sites.
Who can attend?
Due to restrictions on availability these tours are for applicants hoping to join us on one of our school leaver (16-18) courses beginning in September 2021 only. Learners hoping to join us at a later stage will have the opportunity to visit us at one of our open events next academic year. Due to the nature of these walking tours, please notify us in advance if you have any disabilities affecting mobility.
Group Sizes
Tours will be held in maximum group sizes of 10 students. Due to the limited availability booking is essential and we ask that only applicants themselves attend the tour wherever possible. If necessary, applicants can choose to reserve up to one additional place for a family member or guardian.
