Adult Learners


The prison (former County Gaol) was built in1783 and is amongst the oldest in the country still serving as a prison. Since 2002 it has operated as a Young Offender Institute.

The College is pleased to be working in partnership with HMYOI Northallerton (the prison). Not only are we neighbours but we also share an education role with young people – in this case sentenced (under two years) young offenders. Because for most young offenders this is the last establishment they will attend before being released, education and training are vital in helping gain meaningful future employment and helping prevent re-offending.

The College runs a learndirect centre in the prison which is a fully equipped e-learning facility with 10 PCs and all associated provision.

Since August 2007, over 70 learners/offenders have worked on some 675 learndirect courses, mostly relating to Skills for Life (literacy and numeracy). Around 30 of these learners have successfully progressed to National Test Certification at Level 1 or Level 2.
