Truro and Penwith College is a Tertiary College and Further Education College in Cornwall in the United Kingdom.
Truro College was founded in 1993 as a new college on a new-build campus in Gloweth near Threemilestone, Truro, Cornwall, to replace the Truro Sixth Form College. Penwith College was founded in 1980 in Penzance, and was known until 1990 as Penwith Sixth Form College. The two colleges merged in 2008, and a £30 million programme of investment resulted in many new state-of-the-art buildings on the Penwith campus, while the opening of new facilities on the Truro campus also continued.
Truro and Penwith College is associated with Callywith College and the Stadium for Cornwall, both of which it will help develop.
The Rick Stein Academy was launched in 2015 as a partnership between the Rick Stein Group and Truro and Penwith College. In 2016 it was recognized as a Top 100 Apprenticeship Employer nationally.
The College hosts the annual Cornwall Apprenticeship Awards.
The original principal of Truro College, and later Truro and Penwith College, was Jonathan Burnett. He retired in 2010, succeeded by David Walrond.
