Who we are

We are proud to be able to support our learners with an award-winning education, with year on year increasing student success that exceeds the UK National average; and a student satisfaction rate that exceeds the national average.

Activate Learning is a forward-thinking education group that aims for far-reaching, progressive change and impact through learning. We work with students as individuals, helping them make the choice of career pathway or course that’s right for them and their ambitions.

We recognise every student has a different story; people come to college having had different experiences. We want to capitalise on these and help them grow by building effective relationships, as we know that how you feel about learning is just as important as what you learn.

We combine our expertise in delivering technical, vocational and academic education, with our high level of industry engagement and connections to some of the best-known companies—not just in our region, but in the world—to provide learners with a complete educational experience where they feel supported and confident in their abilities and inspired by the opportunities available to them. Through doing so, we provide work-ready talent for business, and transform lives through our Learning Philosophy

95% of students that completed a programme with us progressed directly into employment or onto higher-level learning
