Cornwall College, also known as The Cornwall College Group (TCCG), is a further education college situated on eight sites throughout Cornwall and Devon, England, United Kingdom, with its headquarters in St Austell.

Campuses

[edit | edit source]

There are eight campuses within the Cornwall College group, at Camborne, Newquay, Sisna Park, St Austell, Duchy College, Rosewarne and Stoke Climsland, Bicton College and Falmouth Marine School.[3]

Since 2000 Newquay Zoo has provided teaching input and practical opportunities for FE and HE students enrolled at the adjacent Newquay Centre for Applied Zoology Cornwall College Newquay on zoological conservation, education and media courses. The campus is based next to Newquay Zoo. This unusual and innovative partnership project was recognised by a BIAZA zoo education award in 2003 and 2016.

Courses

[edit | edit source]

With more than 15,000 learners each year,[4] The Cornwall College Group is the South West's top performing college for apprenticeships.[5]

It offers in excess of 2,000 technical and professional qualifications, alongside GCSEs and Access to Higher Education.

Courses are offered in Arts, Media & Performing Arts; Business, Administration & Law; Catering & Hospitality; Construction Trades; Conservation, Zoology and Animal Behaviour; Early Years; Engineering; Hair, Beauty & Wellbeing; Information & Communication Technology; Motor Vehicle; Foundation Learning plus English & Maths; Public Services; Science; Social Care & Health; Sport, Fitness & Outdoor; Travel & Tourism; and the School of Education and Professional Development.[3]

In October 2025, the college was granted full degree awarding powers by the Office for Students, meaning it will be allowed to design and deliver its own bachelor's degree courses from May 2026.[6]

Awards

[edit | edit source]

In 2016, it was one of just two colleges to be awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize for Further and Higher Education. [7]

Campus redevelopments

[edit | edit source]

In 2023, the group announced two new redevelopment plans to the St Austell and Camborne campus'.[8] The funding for the two projects originates from the Department for Education's FE capital transformation fund projects.[9] The DfE targeted some of the worst-condition sites in the country, by working in partnership with 16 colleges to deliver their capital projects.[10]

St Austell

[edit | edit source]

The St Austell campus redevelopment is due to see the removal of John Keay House, acquired by the group at the end of 2002[11] previously owned by Imerys. The original use of the building was the HQ for English China Clays (ECC) and the top floor originally provided executive dining rooms with views over St Austell Bay.[12] The site was surplus to requirements soon after Imerys acquired ECC.

The two new buildings will[speculation?] aim to create "one of the most modern and engaging college facilities in the country",[according to whom?] while also becoming one of the first carbon neutral colleges in the UK.[13]

Camborne

[edit | edit source]

Camborne's redevelopment is expected to see several buildings refurbished and demolished.[14] According to principal and CE John Evans, it is also expected to see upgrading of classrooms, laboratories and workshops, improving technology, infrastructure, and enhancing accessibility and safety.[15]

Construction work for the Camborne campus started in 2023.[16]
