Gloucestershire College is holding an open evening at its Cheltenham campus on 11 May 2026 to help residents plan their future studies. The event will take place in Gloucestershire from 17:00 to 20:00, allowing prospective students and their families to see the site before the autumn term begins.

Visitors can tour the Cheltenham campus and speak with teaching staff about various study options, including apprenticeships, T Levels, and university-level courses. The evening aims to help both school leavers and adult learners understand the different paths available for the 2026 academic year.

The campus includes modern facilities such as the £3 million ADA: Advanced Digital Academy, which specialises in digital skills and cyber security. Other areas open for viewing include a fashion academy, a training restaurant called Number ONE, and construction workshops.

Principal Matthew Burgess and his team will be available to answer questions about specific courses and the application process. This event offers a direct way for the community to explore training that connects to local jobs in the digital and trade sectors.
