Oaklands College Hertfordshire
Description
Discover the endless possibilities at Oaklands College. With campuses in St Albans and Welwyn Garden City. We are a further education college based in Hertfordshire, with campuses in St Albans and Welwyn Garden City, providing full and part-time courses for around 10,000 students.
We aim to give students opportunities to reach their potential and become more independent, ready for life after college.
While we encourage our students to be more independent, we provide support for all our students to help them succeed in their studies and develop into rounded young people.
We work closely with local employers to ensure we are teaching our students the skills they need to stand out in the crowd, whether they want to get a job straight after college or go onto university.
Check out our website to see what courses we offer, or come along to our next open evening (details on our website).
