EDUCATION AND TRAINING POST 16 PROVISION DIRECTORY September 2013

Introduction Many providers have asked for a directory of the provision that is available to support young people who live in the Dorset County Council area. Due to the travel to learn area accessed by young people in Dorset, reference is made to some providers in other local authority areas as well as those within Dorset. The Directory provides brief details of the range of provision that is available to support post 16 young people and their learning. For full details and specifics please use the contacts listed.

When using this directory you will find that the large FE Colleges are listed under the towns where they are located. It must be remembered that the colleges draw from a large surrounding area that in some cases crosses local authority boundaries.
