City of Liverpool College

British college, established 1992

The City of Liverpool College is a further education and higher education college in Liverpool, England. The college is located over several sites across the Knowledge Quartera district in the Liverpool city centre. Community based provision has been disestablished in response to reduction in funding provision by central government. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses are likely to be the sole community based provision.

It was created in 1992, as City of Liverpool Community College, from the merger of four further education (FE) colleges in Liverpool, including Millbank College of Commerce. The college left LEA control in 1993, when it was incorporated as Liverpool Community College, under Companies House legislation. The college's first principal was Wally Brown. The college changed its name to The City of Liverpool College in 2013.

There are four main college centres, all of which are within the City Centre area.

The £35 million Learning Exchange on Roscoe Street is central to the College's city centre campus and houses all its student support services, including finance, exams and careers advice and guidance. The Learning Exchange is the location for courses in health care and child studies and Sport, Exercise & Fitness including Uniformed Services. It is also home to HE programmes in computing and business with accounting.

The college offers traditional academic qualifications such as GCSEs and A levels, as well as vocational courses at national certificate, diploma and higher national level. It also offers programmes at foundation and master's degree level. The college also provides a range of professional qualifications such as Microsoft Systems Administrator, Microsoft Office Specialist and CISCO CCNA. Students studying these areas may have chosen these as a way to enhance their prior knowledge.

Several awards have been won by students and staff alike for their involvement in the local area. Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust and the College won the HSJ Patient Safety Award for Virtual or Remote Care Initiative of the Year for an innovation patient video. One of the college's staff, Christopher Butler, who was involved in the HSJ Award, is nominated for Innovator of the Year in the Liverpool City Region Culture and Creativity Awards.
