Facilities Workshops

Southport College has industry standard workshops with the latest equipment to prepare students for working within that sector.

Bricklaying students have designated spaces in which they can build structures using the same tools and equipment as those used by professional bricklayers. The electrical purpose-built workshops enable students to practise the skills they will be using in the trade. Our engineering department has benefitted from a £1.3 million refurbishment project providing students with a new, modern e-learning classroom and an extended/refurbished workshop housing £150,000 of new equipment.

In addition, our motor vehicle department has a fully equipped on-site garage, with ramps, tools, diagnostic equipment and tyre fitting bays. As well as working on our fleet of internal combustion engined cars, we also have EV and Hybrid vehicle demonstration rigs, fully preparing you for real work environments.

For painting and decorating students we have a custom-built workshop which has specially designed areas for them to practise their painting and wallpapering skills. Our plumbing and gas workshops are kitted out with essential equipment within a realistic working environment for students hoping to work in this sector.
