Yeovil College
Yeovil College has been serving the communities in South Somerset and North and West Dorset for 130 years. Our Mission Statement is: "To provide inspirational education and training for individuals, employers and the whole community." The College was first formed in 1887 when Somerset County Council began formally organising Science and Art classes in Yeovil. In 1947, the first Principal was appointed to lead Yeovil Technical College and when secondary education in the Yeovil Borough was reorganised in 1974, Yeovil College became one of the early tertiary colleges to be formed in England. Today, Yeovil College remains passionate about its role as a key provider of education and training in South Somerset and North and West Dorset. It remains committed to its role as a tertiary college for the whole community and currently supports around 5,000 full and part-time students. Our learners are at the heart of everything we do, and our study programmes cover a huge range of curriculum areas from Sport, IT, Business, Engineering, and Health & Care to Construction, Hospitality and Hair & Beauty – we have a restaurant, sports centre and a salon that are open to students, staff and the general public. We cover A Levels, Vocational courses, Apprenticeships and Work-Based Learning, and with our Yeovil College University Centre, you can take your education to university level on your doorstep, without having to travel.
