[2] The merger makes it the largest group of further and adult education institutions in the country and one of the five colleges in the United Kingdom empowered by the Privy Council with the authority to award Foundation Degrees[3] [4] [5] As of June 2018 the group manages seven colleges with a faculty of around 1,500 staff for approximately 15,000 students.

[6] The group provides National Curriculum courses and vocational education in a broad range of subjects to students aged 16 and over.

At this point, it was decided that the college would trade as WCG to avoid conflicts between Warwickshire in the name, and three campus being in Worcestershire.

The college has Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) awards in engineering, equine, farriery, maintenance and construction, and leadership and management.

[8] The Henley-in-Arden centre focused on sports-related studies, health and beauty, fashion and textiles and offered courses from further education right through to postgraduate qualifications.

It offers courses including A Levels, business, health care, hair and beauty, construction, travel and tourism and supported learning programmes.

Pershore College is situated on a 60-hectare (150-acre) site near Evesham, Worcestershire (though close to the Warwickshire border) and offers courses in Horticulture, Arboriculture, Animal Welfare, Veterinary Nursing, Agritech, Health & Social Care, Counselling and Sport.

Pershore College was originally an independent institution founded in 1954 to train horticultural workers in the Vale of Evesham.

The centre also includes a Learning Resource Centre, sports hall and gym, astroturf pitch, meeting and conference facilities, purpose-built art, design and craft workshops, hair and beauty salons, theatre and college nursery.

Many companies, including Alstom, Cable and Wireless, Jaguar Land Rover, Rolls-Royce and Telent, send their apprentices to this centre.

In 2015, Trident 2 opened, a specialist engineering building with workshops and labs tailored to the high demands of the colleges customers.

Other facilities include the Malvern Community Learning Centre and dedicated hair and beauty salons.
