City and Islington College has set a standard for success as one of the country’s largest and most successful providers of further education. Every year more than 3,500 young people and 10,000 adults successfully learn with us, enabling them to go on to further studies and employment. We offer an exceptionally wide range of courses at all levels from basic skills through to higher education.
Our achievements include; an outstanding grade across every measure by Ofsted (June 2008); five award winning specialist centres across north London, Beacon status by the Learning and Skills Council; and the only Further Education College in the country to twice win the Queen’s Anniversary Prize.
All staff in the College support teaching and learning, directly or indirectly, and with that comes a great sense of pride when students achieve the qualifications that will change their lives.
We work closely with local employers, and have very strong links with universities to open up higher education to all students, with the number of students progressing to university improving each year.
