Leeds City College

What Our Students Say

“Before I came to Leeds City College, I was in school, I was in such a bad way at school, skiving lessons all the time, teachers always on my case, getting kicked out numerous times almost. So I applied for here just hoping to get on a course, I got accepted – it was entry Level 3. Dave was my tutor and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better as a tutor, because he just helped me. He helped me with every regard, with Maths and English, workshop work, the theory side of the workshop work – telling me how everything is and showing me what’s what.”

Harrison

“The decision that made me pick between here and other places was when I came to the open day everyone was just really friendly and open, and it just felt like a really welcoming environment to be in.”

Charli

“When I first came I didn’t know anybody at the college but because it’s people you’re surrounded by and people with similar interests to you, you do make friends quickly and you make really close friendships with people because you’re listening to the same things and you’re going through the same things, and you can help each other as well.”

About Engineering & Manufacturing

Electrical, manufacturing, mechanical – whichever branch of engineering you are interested in, we have courses to help you prepare for further study or employment. Based at our Printworks Campus, you will learn from engineering experts in our industry-standard facilities.

Our courses are varied and interesting – in addition to teaching you skills and knowledge specific to your chosen specialism, you will receive training in health and safety and employer-sought engineering principles.

Fully-equipped workshops house all you need to engineer success. Whether it’s working on cars, wiring installations, or welding, you will gain practical experience in environments that prepare you for the world of employment. By the end of your course, you will be ready to start work in your chosen field, or progress to further study.

If you’re looking for a different learning experience, we offer apprenticeships and T Levels. Engineering apprenticeships are a great way to learn as you do the job – you’ll earn a wage, and on successful completion, gain a recognised qualification. T Levels combine the hands-on experience of working for a real company with academic learning. We offer three T Levels within engineering and manufacturing. Both apprenticeships and T Levels can help get you to university or progress straight into employment.
