Why Choose SS&L

Our facilities make a great place to study, with modern and up to date classrooms, combined with the latest technology at your fingertips in small and accessible venues.

People choose us because we are so different from a college – no sprawling campuses but small learning centres close to you, most with easy nearby parking and all hosting kitchen facilities offering free refreshments.

We have a range of age groups represented in our classes and our experienced and professional tutors are totally committed to helping you achieve your learning goals – whether you’re seventeen or seventy!

We are a community interest company which means any profit we make is used to improve the learner experience. By choosing us you are investing in your community.

That’s why over 87% of students would recommend us to friends and family*
