The RNIB College Loughborough is a small and friendly community welcoming people on a day or residential basis. People come with a wide range of abilities and from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. Our aim is always to help you make the most of your potential.
Many but not all of college learners have a sight problem. People also join us with learning difficulties, mild to moderate autism; including Asperger's syndrome, physical mobility difficulties, chronic illness or hearing loss. Many of our learners have more than one difficulty or disability and all our learners have unique strengths and personalities.
Further Education
Younger learners typically aged 16-21 come to the College funded by the Learning Skills Council (LSC) and are usually looking for the next stage in their education, a way of entering employment or a way of learning to live independently.
Adult Employment
We also offer programmes for adult learners aged 18-63, who are unemployed and looking for help in gaining employment. These are very intensive employment orientated courses funded through the Jobcentre Plus (JCP) or Residential Training Unit (RTU).
Further information
In February 2008 we were graded to be "good" by Ofsted and our aim is now to be graded "outstanding" (the top grade) by 2011-2012.
