City College Southampton is a general further education college located in Southampton, Hampshire, England.
The college has around 1000 full-time, 2500 part-time students and 450 apprentices each year. It offers a wide choice of full-time vocational courses including art & design, beauty, hairdressing, media, hospitality and catering, IT, performing arts, construction, engineering, business studies, care, travel & tourism, childcare, marine technology, boat building[1] and technical theatre.
The college teaches career-focused courses for young people and adults, both students and apprentices from 16 years old and further (no one is ever too old to learn). There are courses at all levels to prepare students for work or university and to improve key life skills. These include HNDs and HNCs, Access to Higher Education, BTEC Extended Diplomas and many other types of vocational course to give students the qualifications they need.
The college trains apprentices. All of its apprentices are employed by a local business and train some of the time at college. Major local firms such as Griffon Hoverworks[2] have high quality apprenticeship schemes. It runs other training courses for businesses and other organisations such as the local hospitals and City Council.
Since September 2017, Solent University's Warsash Maritime School has been located at the campus.
