About Us
Crescent College has been active in the community since 2015 providing Further Education levels to higher education vocational and academic courses in diverse disciplines. Crescent College was established to reach communities with low access to education and employment in line with the West Midlands Combined Authority’s Employment and Skills strategy.
It has worked with different awarding bodies, higher education institutes and local job centres to create lifelong learning and employability skills. In the past 7 years, 6000 learners have successfully completed their learning journey and moved on to further study or employment.
We will do more freedom and flexibility to support local people to develop new skills, upskill, to find better work, to progress in employment and to improve their quality of life, as we underpin an inclusive economy in line with WMCA’s FPS that includes five categories of delivery, linked to pillars within the Employment and Skills Strategy
