Learning Pathways and Programmes at Derwen College

We tailor our Pathways and Programmes to meet your needs.

At Derwen College, we tailor our pathways and programmes to fit individual student needs. We are flexible and adaptive in our approach, making sure we meet the learning needs and requirements of all our students.

We are definitely not one-size-fits-all.

You may be looking for a full-time vocational route; or you might not be quite ready for a customer-facing programme. We create our pathways with you in mind – ensuring they fit your needs.

We have our main campus in Gobowen, and three satellite sites across Shropshire at Ludlow, Telford and Walford.

You will train in our unique on-site outlets and also gain fantastic external work experience, all linked to your chosen vocational area. These hands-on opportunities help you feel confident and ready for the workplace when you leave college.

We also offer a Learning for Life programme for those young people whose planned outcome may not be work.

You might consider progressing onto one of our Supported Internships, following your vocational programme at Derwen College.

Your progression at Derwen College will be unique to you, personalised to your needs, your learning and your skills.

Be ready to have fun, make new friends and learn new skills.
