The college is located over several sites across the Knowledge Quarter – a district in the Liverpool city centre. Community-based provision has been disestablished in response to reduction in funding provision by central government. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses are likely to be the sole community-based provision.

History edit

It was created in 1992, as City of Liverpool Community College, from the merger of four[which?] further education (FE) colleges in Liverpool,[1][2] including Millbank College of Commerce.[citation needed] The college left LEA control in 1993, when it was incorporated as Liverpool Community College, under Companies House legislation. The college's first principal was Wally Brown.[3] The college changed its name to The City of Liverpool College in 2013.[1][2]
