The college offers courses in a wide range of subjects from hair and beauty and mechanics to media studies and science, as well as apprenticeship programmes.

Facilities include purpose-built art and design studios, a £9 million motor vehicle workshop, hair and beauty salons, catering kitchens and a sports centre.

Commercial hair and beauty salons, a spa, a fine dining restaurant and a bistro, all based at The Park at CRC, provide students with work experience.

A new £2.5million SmartLIFE Low Carbon Centre, part of The Hive Education and Enterprise Park, opened in September 2011 to further develop the college’s range of ‘green’ construction, energy and sustainable courses.

The college celebrates a number of religious festivals and international events throughout the year, as well as supporting initiatives such as Anti-Bullying Week.
