Any other information
They work in partnership with a mainstream college offering blind and partially sighted people of all ages vocational training and access to a full range of courses, so they can develop the skills and personal qualities they are interested in.
The College is located in the busy market town of Loughborough, Leicestershire. The impressive, modern building was built to be accessible to people with visual impairments and opened in 1989 and is next to Loughborough College and on campus with Loughborough University. It is a stone’s throw from Nottingham, Leicester & Derby and the train from London only takes 1½ hours.
They are a residential specialist college, and are currently developing a new residential centre with 60 en-suite bedrooms, each with their own computer terminal and all completely accessible for people with additional disabilities.
