We run two colleges offering a range of courses for school-leavers and mature students. Fees are usually met by the Further Education Funding Council, Training for Work, or by your local education authority. This further education college provides pre-vocational and vocational courses leading to recognised national qualifications. Courses range from horticulture and manufacturing practice to office skills. You can also take personal development courses and foundation courses which cover literacy, numeracy, braille and keyboard skills.
Residential accommodation is provided on site.
Students with additional disabilities are welcome. The college also offers an Outreach Service to help visually impaired students in other colleges. This college works in partnership with neighbouring Loughborough College of Further Education, offering a wide range of vocational and educational opportunities for visually impaired people. We have fully supported access to a wide range of courses at Loughborough College, allowing students to gain nationally recognised qualifications. RNIB Vocational College offers specialist courses at foundation level as well as training in business administration, and information technology at NVQ level.
