Whether you’re a potential plumber, a promising physicist, an aspiring apprentice, a budding florist or a high-flying accountant, Central Sussex College has a course to suit you. As one of the largest training providers in the South East, we currently have over 11,000 students studying full and part time at our campuses throughout central Sussex.

We offer a fantastic range of courses, whether you are looking for something vocational, academic, professional, or just for fun and with exciting improvements to our Crawley and Haywards Heath campuses, there’s never been a more exciting time to study! 

At Central Sussex College we want you to reach your full potential and we’re proud of our track record, with many former students now studying at top universities and excelling in their chosen careers.

Our qualified and professional tutors make sure you receive expert tuition and we can even arrange learning support to help you through your studies if you need it.

Many students coming to Central Sussex College from abroad like to stay with a host family initially. This provides a secure home environment and the opportunity to practise your English.

The cost depends on the size of the room and the number of meals:

• Self-catering costs approximately £85 per week 
  (accommodation only - bedroom and shared bathroom & kitchen)
• Full-board costs £115 per week 
  (bed, breakfast and evening meals included, and at weekends a snack will also be provided at lunchtime.)

We have an accommodation service which can help place you with a family either on a self-catering or full-board basis. Some students choose to remain with a host family, others move on to share flats or houses with other students.

Central Sussex College has four campuses which are easily accessible by road and rail and within easy reach of London, Gatwick and Brighton. Our excellent links with the local business community mean we can help you find job placements and work experience opportunities relevant to your studies.
