Skills Centre

The Skills Centre offers the key building blocks you need to pursue a career in one of five main vocational areas - Construction, Computing, Engineering, Hospitality and Motor Vehicle.

We deliver practical based courses that offer excellent on-site facilities and the resources you require to become competent in your chosen vocation. Our professional lecturing staff, assessors and technicians also work closely with key partners such as West Lothian Council, Construction Skills, local employers and schools. Skills Centre students participate in a number of external activities specifically designed to allow them to practice what they have learned.

The Centre provides training to nationally recognised standards with strong links to local industry. These links have provided successful routes into employment for our students. We also offer courses that may allow you to make the transition to further college or university study. Students may benefit from our formal links with Edinburgh Napier and Heriot Watt Universities, providing the option to advance to degree courses.

Whatever your needs, there is a method of study available to suit you. You can choose a course within the Skills Centre ranging from part-time or day-release through to full-time attendance.
