We encourage all our staff and students to dream big and we are proud to say that studying at Barnsley College helps to inspire our learners and transform their lives.

We offer a wide range of courses, taught in industry-standard facilities, including vocational, A Levels, T Levels, Apprenticeships, part-time, adult courses, and Higher Education.

We have built excellent links with businesses in our town and beyond and use these partnerships to improve our offer for students through work placements, academies, mentoring and apprenticeships.
