About Us

For over 50 years, Accrington & Rossendale College has been providing award-winning education and training to the people of Hyndburn, Rossendale, the Ribble Valley and beyond.
In recent years we have invested over £16 million in our Accrington-based Broad Oak Campus, building a campus truly worthy of the 21st century.
In addition to our diverse curriculum of further education, we also boast a highly respected higher education programme which offers the community the option of a university education on their doorstep and we run a very successful workforce training subsidiary, accross Business Solutions.
To prove how successful we have become, in our latest Government inspection we received a grade one (outstanding) in all areas. This is the best possible grading that any college can achieve, putting us in the top 10% of Colleges in the UK.
