Our Mission
“Our mission is to help people get ahead in their lives and careers, by equipping them with the knowledge and skills that employers want.”
Rod Bristow - CEO and Founder
What We Do
We give individuals from every walk of life the opportunity to improve their prospects, empowering them to boost, change or restart their careers.
We do this by providing flexible, online-first access to Technical Qualifications that employers trust.
These courses are taught by the excellent public colleges with which we partner, and you enrol. They lead to better jobs and higher pay.
Why We’re Different
Taught by Trusted Colleges
We’re partnered with UK-leading college groups, who teach courses through our cutting-edge online platform. Every module is packed with career-changing insights.
Flexible, Online-First Delivery
Our courses fit around busy lives - and commitments like jobs and family. You can learn online at a time to suit you, with optional in-person support - and your own Success Coach.
Qualifications Employers Trust
Our learners earn Technical Qualifications that employers value. These can be done as a one-off. Or you can “stack” them, moving from HNC, to HTQ – and then to a full degree.
Supported, Accessible, Funded
We support you every step of the way. From application advisors to your own personal Success Coach. 100% Student Finance funding is available for all courses.
Stackable Qualifications
Our courses are Technical Qualifications, designed to boost your career - and earnings - by equipping you with skills employers want.
They work as standalone courses. But they are also ‘stackable’. So, if you start with Level 4 (HNC), you can continue to Level 5 (HND). At that stage you would earn a Higher Technical Qualification (HTQ).
If you take your studies all the way to Level 6, you'll be awarded a full Degree.
Institutional Support
"At Trafford and Stockport College Group, we believe there is a critical need to provide study options for working people who need new or enhanced skills to meet the needs of employers and open up new career opportunities for themselves. We also believe that College Online, in partnership with trusted colleges, can help meet this need."
