Salford College is a specialist vocational College in Greater Manchester. Based on two main campuses – Worsley Campus in Worsley, and City Campus in Central Salford – Salford College serves more than 10,000 students a year on its main sites and at community venues across the City of Salford.
Being a specialist vocational College means that we are expert in offering job-related courses that teach the skills that employers are looking for. Many of Salford College courses are taught by tutors who have worked in that vocational area, so we really know what we are talking about.
Learners are part of a vibrant College learning community made up of school leavers, adults in work and adults in the community.
