Edinburgh's Telford College

(Ray Harris, Principal & Chief Executive)

Our study opportunities offer you a very wide range of courses that are in tune with today's workplace and tomorrow's society.

By choosing to study at Telford you will benefit from courses that are constantly refined to meet the needs of the job market whilst receiving the best student support. I can promise you that my colleagues will help you achieve significant personal and career development.

Telford is a modern, innovative and inclusive college and we pride ourselves on achieving our Mission to be accessible, responsive and flexible, and achieve excellence. Committed to lifelong learning, we are proud of our excellent record in teaching and learning and our close links with commerce, industry and our community that enable us to help you achieve your aspirations.

During 2003 we were the subject of a full Review by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education and you may care to visit their website (www.hmie.gov.uk) to read the outcome of that Review. Alternatively you can view the report on our website.

I've referred a couple of times to jobs and careers and we know how important it is today to have all of the skills necessary to gain and retain jobs. We are also aware just how important it is that students work alongside their studies. To support you in this we have developed prospect-us, which will not only assist in preparing for and developing within the world of work but will actually help you find the jobs. 

We have a wide range of sponsor companies offering jobs to our students because they are from Telford and are participating in the prospect-us programme. They know that our students have the 'softer' skills required alongside the more technical competencies.

So, I am sure that through studying at Telford you will learn new skills, make new friends and grow as a person while preparing for your future career. And we'll put you firmly on that path before you leave us!

You can be assured of a warm welcome and a rewarding, stimulating and enjoyable experience. I look forward to welcoming you to the College.
