Welcome to the beginning of your journey into Healthcare. By studying core healthcare knowledge with us, you will become part of the future of nurses, midwives, paramedics, social workers, and allied healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists and occupational therapists. A career in healthcare is vital, rewarding, and impacts society in immeasurable ways - providing care, improving lives, and supporting communities in their time of need.

Our interactive learning experience offers hands-on practice in immersive training environments, where you can build your skills in realistic healthcare scenarios. With us, you won’t just learn theory; you'll actively practice what it takes to be an exceptional healthcare professional.

We take pride in our partnerships with West Suffolk Hospital, Addenbrooke's Hospital and Royal Papworth Hospital on our T level courses, which offer valuable work experience placements. These opportunities help you develop critical skills in a real healthcare setting, bridging the gap between learning and practice.

Together, we’re developing the next generation of healthcare professionals, from paramedics and nurses to psychologists and social workers. The range of career opportunities within this sector is vast, and our team of Health and Social Science professionals will support you in exploring your own unique path.
