Westgate College
Westgate College is Newcastle City Learning's main venue for both courses and our staff. We take well over 2,000 enrolments a year here and numbers are growing. As well as our full course offer, we run the Access to Higher Education (HEFC) programme from here. We have a fully equipped laboratory, a teaching kitchen and have just invested over £100,000 to refresh our ICT equipment.

Our new Learner Handbook has arrived! Packed with useful information and details of the support that is available, we hope it will help you make the most of your learning experience with us in the new academic year 2017 - 18. Copies are available at our receptions, and will be given out at enrolment and you can download it here too (pdf, 5.07MB)
Our new brochure for Autumn 2017 is out on 3rd July and you can download your copy here (pdf, 5.05MB). You can enrol for most of our courses online, and of course, you'll always be welcome in person at one of our centres.
There have been changes to how education courses are funded for learners over 19 years old. Level 3 and above courses will no longer be funded by the Government (unless you are aged 19-23 years old and it is your first full Level 3 qualification) but you may qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan to cover your course fees.
If this loan is to fund an Access to HE Diploma leading to a completed degree, your Advanced Learner Loan will be written off so you don't have to pay it back.
It doesn't matter about your household income or even credit checks to qualify for a loan, and you don't have to pay anything back until you are earning over £21,000 a year.
Loans are available for people living in the UK on the first day of their course and have lived in this country, the Channel Islands of the Isle of Man for three years immediately before this.
Talk to our centre reception staff to get more details and your course offer letter which will have the information you will need to complete your loan application.
