Catten College

 

Catten College is a private training company, based at the Arena Leisure Centre in Colchester. Established in 1983, we are a family run business providing both private and funded NVQ's in Care, Retail and Hairdressing in the North East Essex area.


As part of the Hairdressing learning programme we have two training salons in Colchester and Clacton open to the public during term time only.  Our students carry out all services under the guidance and supervision of our experienced hairdressing assessors.

The company aims are to provide high quality training to the broader community by attracting funding through various government initiatives and other means.   As well as offering Work Based Learning, financed through the Essex Learning and Skills Council, we also work closely with a diverse range of local partnerships and organisations that allow us to offer other various forms of funded learning, as such our learner ages range between 14 and 70!  These partnerships include The Upskill Partnership, Business Link and the Braintree, Colchester and Tendring Consortium (BCT).  In addition we work with local organisations such as Colchester United FC providing vocational education for the Youth Team and national organisations such as John Grooms to provide training in Care.
We also run Alternative Curriculum projects with schools in the Colchester and Tendring areas, to provide students at these schools opportunities to learn about vocations they are considering and to gain qualifications in those areas.

We offer courses in

Hair, Care, Retail, I.T and Sport
