Warrington & Vale Royal College are proud to work in partnership with over 500 local, national and international employers to provide a wide range of training programmes that can be tailored to your business. With our bespoke training packages and skills analysis, we can work with you to create a more proficient and effective workforce that fosters a culture of continued professional development.
We offer a huge variety of courses across a range of sectors and if our existing offer doesn't fit, we will work with you to customise a training programme that suits your organisation's needs. Start dates can vary throughout the year and we have flexible delivery methods.
When staff leave your organisation, you invariably have to replace that role. Instead, invest the money you would spend on recruitment and training in your existing employees.
Training will help your staff improve their skills and learn new ones, as well as refresh their knowledge. This will increase their productivity and accelerate your business’ success by staying ahead of competitors.
Developing the skills of your existing staff will demonstrate you value your employees and are invested in them, resulting in a more committed and dedicated workforce.

The team at Warrington & Vale Royal College make every effort to understand the type of business we are and the role for which we are recruiting to get the best fit for both us and the student.
We're very happy with the process and all the help and advice. Very lovely and professional people.
The team were all round very supportive and helpful. Thank you!
We were completely new to the process of bringing on a new apprentice. However the team at Warrington & Vale College were amazing and took me through every stage carefully, providing excellent guidance and instructions.
A key element of this ethos is providing students with opportunities to meet and engage with a range of employers. This underpins their entire time at college, however each year, we dedicate an entire week to inviting employers in to college to meet our students, talk to them about opportunities in their industry and their organisations, and support them in considering their future career options. Check out some photos of our most recent Employer Weeks below.
Preparing students for the world of work is a vital part of what we do at Warrington & Vale Royal College and we couldn’t do it without the support of employers who take time out of their busy schedules to visit our students and provide incredibly valuable insight.
