Telford College is a general further education college based in Telford, Shropshire. This is the first full inspection of the college since the merger of two former colleges in December 2017. At the time of inspection, 1,569 learners were studying education programmes for young people and 1,094 learners were studying adult learning programmes. There were 579 apprentices, the large majority of which were following standards-based apprenticeships, and 133 learners were in receipt of high needs funding. The college offers almost all subject areas, with the largest being business, creative arts, engineering and social sciences. Courses range from entry level to level 5, with around 60% of learners following study programmes at level 3, 65% of apprentices studying at level 3 or above and the large majority of adults studying at level 2. The college currently works with one subcontractor to deliver security-related qualifications to adults, which accounted for 37 learners. This subcontract will come to an end after this group of learners complete their studies. A small number of adults were engaged in ‘skills boot camps’ which were not in scope for this inspection.
