Learning at Calderdale College is designed to be practical, relevant and inspiring. Our specialist facilities give students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in environments that reflect real workplaces and industries.
Our Engineering Centre in Brighouse provides industry-standard training for students studying engineering courses or electrical and motor vehicle apprenticeships. The site features specialist workshops including welding and fabrication facilities, electrical bays and dedicated spaces for milling and turning. It is also home to the i4.0 Hub, where students can explore advanced manufacturing technologies such as robotics, helping them develop the skills needed for the modern engineering sector.
Alongside this, Mill Studios is a state-of-the-art creative and digital hub for students studying Esports, Games Design and media production.
