Why study at Kendal College?

Our IT suites feature the latest hardware and software and our entire network was upgraded in August 2011 to include Windows 7 on all computers and the latest server technology. Our dedicated team of tutors, each with specialist knowledge, are experienced teachers who can offer you a great opportunity to forge a career in this dynamic discipline.

In recent years, students have taken part in live projects for the college's enterprise competition. One project involved creating a security database for Booths Supermarket. To meet our responsibility to support the local community, students have also helped to provide IT training to users of Kendal library. We have also provided our students with the opportunity to visit several universities, such as Newcastle and Manchester.
