When you enrol at Telford College we treat you like adults and we provide the space you need and excellent opportunities to learn. Together with our university-standard facilities we give everyone the best chances to progress into careers.
“I might not fit it?”
Come to college and be who you want to be, meet like minded people and make new friends. We have students from all over the region which is what brings a fantastic atmosphere to Telford College.
“What if I discover I don’t like my course?”
Don’t worry! You have a five week period at the start of term where if you’re not enjoying your first choice you can swap not drop onto another course.
“I’m scared of getting something wrong”
If you get something wrong don’t worry it just means we might not have applied it to your learning style in the best way. Tutors adapt their teaching to ensure you can flourish.
