Joseph Priestley College (JPC) is as diverse as its students. We offer a range of courses, from academic to vocational either full-time or part-time, to suit each individual’s needs. So whether you’re looking for the next step up on your career ladder or you simply want to brush up on your skills our dedicated staff are here to get you there.

We received Investors in People award in March 2005 and again in 2009 owing to our commitment to training and development.
Both our Services to Business and Student Services have achieved Matrix accreditation – a national quality standard for delivering information, advice and guidance on learning.
We are only one of four businesses to be accredited with the Investor in Diversity accolade.

We stand out from other colleges in Leeds because we offer a more personal service. At JPC you are an individual learner with specific needs – not a statistic that will disappear into the system.  We are famed for our friendly support and professional advice which will ensure you quickly get to know our staff and other students.

As a community based college, JPC has strong links with a wide range of community organisations. We provide education to a number of local centres across the south of Leeds.
Many of the courses offered are free as they are funded through a variety of sources including Leeds City Council and LSC; or you may be eligible for discount dependent on your individual circumstances. Our Adult and Community Learning Services provide local, accessible centres with a broad curriculum where adults of all ages are able to attend classes in their communities.
