Sandwell College is the newest FE college in the UK. The iconic, £77 million building towers over the centre of West Bromwich and attracts students from across Birmingham and the Black Country. The majority of the full-time students either study courses designed to give them skills for the modern workplace (such as Automotive Engineering, Beauty Therapy and Web Design), or they are preparing for A Levels and university in Central Sixth, the brand-new Sixth Form. A major feature of Central Colleges provision is an expanding apprenticeship programme and a broad range of training courses designed to meet the needs of regional and local employers. A specialist business team offers work-based learning, bespoke training and short courses to suit the demands of individual businesses.
The new state-of-the-art Central Campus combines a specialist automotive centre, computer suites, construction workshops, engineering and science laboratories, fashion and photography studios, a sports hall and a 170-seat theatre among many other facilities. Trainee dental nurses practise in a simulated surgery, while Travel and Tourism students train in a real aircraft fuselage. In addition to four beauty salons and three hairdressing salons, the hair salon and nail bar is open to the public, allowing the most experienced students the opportunity to show off their skills in a real-life environment.
