North Warwickshire & Hinckley College is a Further Education College with main campuses in Nuneaton and Hinckley. The College offers Full-time, Part-time and Higher Education courses, as well as Apprenticeships and training solutions for employers.
The College began in 1910 as the 'Nuneaton Technical College' and the 'Nuneaton School of Art' respectively, with the Technical College catering mainly to mining students. In 1913 the College moved to a larger building containing a laboratory, lecture room, drawing room and handicraft room only for the College to close between 1914 and 1919 due to the First World War. When the College reopened after the war it changed its structure to include general education courses. The College grew further and relocated again in 1923 and became the 'County Mining and Technical School' in 1932. The size and scope of the education provided continued to grow over the next two decades and in 1952 the Art School was amalgamated with the College to form the 'Nuneaton Technical College and School of Art' and in 1958 the main campus was relocated to Hinckley Road where it remains.
The college was subsequently renamed to 'North Warwickshire College of Technology and Art" until the merger with Hinckley College to become North Warwickshire and Hinckley College in 1996.
New Hinckley Campus
In September 2011, the College opened a new Hinckley Campus located on Lower Bond Street in the town centre. The £13m campus is home to the College’s Creative Arts provision.
Engineering Centre
In September 2011, a £1.5m investment from Warwickshire County Council funded the development of a new engineering facility at the College's Nuneaton Campus. The Advanced Engineering Centre has workshop space, conference facilities and classrooms, as well as specialist equipment.
Harrowbrook Construction Centre
The Construction Centre is home to the College's Brickwork, Carpentry, Environmental Technologies, Painting and Decorating and Forklift Truck Engineering.
North Warwickshire & Hinckley College is one of the few colleges in the country with a specific strategy around competitions. In November 2013, 29 students from North Warwickshire & Hinckley College competed in the WorldSkills UK finals at the Skills Show held in Birmingham.
North Warwickshire & Hinckley College has three campuses located in Hinckley & Bosworth, Nuneaton & Bedworth and North Warwickshire.
