The student hubs are available at all four campuses and are for every student to access. They offer friendly advice with resources covering finances, careers support and UCAS advice, health and wellbeing support, travel and learning and admission support.

The college strives to be a modern and inclusive institution, with up to date and relevant resources on offer, assisting students to complete their learning with personalised support, and whilst mitigating outside stresses.

If you are at a crossroads and feel that a typical college course isn’t for you, then perhaps an Apprenticeship or T Level could be the answer.

At COPC they are very proud of robust links with industry and local businesses, allowing students on these course types to gain first-hand experience and skills during work experience placements or employment, helping to set their CV apart from the rest.
