Skelmersdale and Ormskirk College

Whether you’ve recently left school and are deciding on your next step, an adult wanting to boost your career, an undergraduate looking to take your first step into higher education or you just want to try something new, we have a course for you! We are delighted to offer a range of school leaver, undergraduate, Apprenticeship and professional qualifications to help you take the next step in boosting your career! Our strategy is to work closely with the business community and offer programmes that meet local and regional job priorities. This ensures that local students have the very best opportunities for work experience leading to high quality job outcomes, and also that employers have the highly skilled workforce they need to be successful. We are continually investing in education for the people of West Lancashire and beyond. In 2011 we invested £42.8m in a brand new campus situated in Skelmersdale town centre, which benefited from the addition of a £2.5m Construction, Engineering & Logistics Centre in 2019 and more recently the £1.3m School of Science which was officially opened by Professor Brian Cox CBE in July 2021.
