LEARNERS STAFF PARENTS WORK FOR US ABOUT US STUDY WITH US SUPPORT EMPLOYERS INTERNATIONAL APPLY International The International department has welcomed over 2000 students and teachers since we established in 2014. Travelling from many countries, students have enjoyed the beautiful surroundings of Cheshire and its stunning countryside and quaint towns and villages. In 2016 the department won the South Cheshire Chamber’s prestigious Exporter of the year award. Linking with local businesses, schools and the community has enabled us to develop strong working relationships that our International students have benefited from. Cheshire College – South & West provides an exciting and excellent education in state of the art campuses. A track record of excellent results as well as amazing progression routes all add up to make the college the place to be! The International office offers a variety of courses ranging from one week to two years. Students join our academic and vocational courses on a long term basis, while others join our short courses. There are winter and summer schools usually for two weeks. English is often taught as part of the programme and a choice ranging from buddying with local school children and college students to work placements in local businesses. They have first-hand experience of British life and there is a strong cultural aspect to this experience, including visits to famous cities and landmarks e.g. Liverpool, Manchester and London.
