History
Working in partnership to improve learning, skills and employability in the local community.

In 1990 Kirkby College of Further Education, which was founded some fifty years ago, merged with Knowsley Central Tertiary College to form Knowsley Community College, a national leader in education, having attained Beacon College Status. Today College has two main Centres in Roby and Kirkby, as well as a Learning Shop in Huyton town centre.

Roby Sixth Form College , in Huyton, offers a large number of A Levels and BTEC Nationals or Diplomas aimed mainly at school leavers. Alongside this, courses for adult students such as Access to H.E. and for Foundation Level learners who require additional support, are available at the Roby Centre. This Centre also offers Art and Design courses right up to pre-degree level in a purpose built facility, as well courses and apprenticeships in Hairdressing, Barbering, Beauty Therapy, Hospitality and Leisure and Tourism.

The Kirkby Centre specialises in vocational education for both full and part-time students, including programmes for apprentices in a wide variety of trades. Courses in Kirkby also include Accountancy, Business Administration, Construction, Computing, Engineering (Automotive and Electrical), Health and Social Care and Teacher Education. The Kirkby Centre provides the base for the Employer Response unit which maintains important links with local and national employers, many of whom provide apprenticeship places and work placement opportunities.
