Originally known as Skelmersdale & Ormskirk College, the college was originally an independently controlled institution, but was taken over by Newcastle College (now NCG) in 2007.[1]
In August 2011, the college changed its name to West Lancashire College.[2] The following month the college moved to a new £42.8 million campus, based near to its old demolished Northway Campus in Skelmersdale.
The campus of the college contains facilities that replicate real life working environments for students to learn in. These specialised business units include hairdressing salons and a bistro, and are open to the public.
