About Us

Carlisle College has transform its campus into a 21st Century facility.

We're going places so that more people can benefit from local first class learning facilities and get the experience, job or career that they want.

Carlisle College offers an extensive range of higher and further education, professional qualifications and community programmes, from access courses to HND's and qualifications from professions such as accounting, management and others specific to industry.

No matter what your qualification or your ability, we'll help you to get started in your chosen career route. Maybe you didn't quite get the grades you needed at school, perhaps you need that bit of extra support to help you with your learning difficulties or disabilities. Perhaps you're a mature student coming back into education after a break away from study, or maybe you want to continue into Higher Education to take a degree or a professional qualification.
