EnglishWhere Are City of Bristol College's Centres Located?
Updated
City of Bristol College operates six named centres across Bristol: College Green, South Bristol Skills Academy, Ashley Down Centre, Parkway Centre, Independence Training Facilities and Advanced Engineering Centre. The college describes these as vibrant centres with state-of-the-art facilities and expert staff, and it directs prospective students to visit at an Open Event. The college's own site does not publish street addresses for each centre, so use the Open Event listings or contact the college to confirm the exact location of the centre relevant to your course before travelling.
The Six Centres
| Centre | What the college says about it |
|---|---|
| College Green | Listed as one of the college's centres across the city |
| South Bristol Skills Academy | Listed as a centre; hosted the signing of the college's partnership with Bristol Airport |
| Ashley Down Centre | Listed as a centre |
| Parkway Centre | Listed as a centre |
| Independence Training Facilities | Listed as a centre |
| Advanced Engineering Centre | Listed as a centre |
The college's site presents these as a group rather than mapping each centre to specific subjects. If your course is tied to a particular facility — for example, engineering provision at the Advanced Engineering Centre — confirm the teaching site with the college before you plan travel.
How to Visit
The college invites prospective students to "come and visit us at an Open Event." Open Events are the most direct way to see a centre in person, meet staff and check facilities before applying. The site does not list upcoming event dates or a booking form in the material available here, so check the college's Events section for current dates and any registration requirements.
Choosing Which Centre Matters to You
- Course-first: search for your course by subject and centre using the course search on the college's homepage, then note which centre it is attached to.
- Level-first: the college offers A Levels, technical and vocational courses, apprenticeships, pre-entry level courses and university-level courses. Different levels may be taught at different sites, so confirm the centre when you enquire.
- Age-group routes: the site organises information for 16–18s, adults, apprentices, higher education students and employers. Start from the route that matches you, then confirm the centre.
Practical Checks Before You Travel
- Confirm the centre for your specific course — the site lists centre names but not full addresses.
- Check the Events page for the next Open Event and whether booking is needed.
- If you are travelling to a partnership or specialist facility, such as provision linked to the Bristol Airport collaboration, ask the college where teaching takes place.
The college holds a 'Good' Ofsted rating from its January 2023 inspection, which the site highlights alongside its local and regional skills role. That rating is a useful quality signal, but it does not tell you which centre hosts your course — always confirm the site directly.
