Provision
There is limited provision in the local area in courses (at all levels) in
the Hospitality and Hair and Beauty sectors. Of the provision that there is,
only one course run in North Cornwall operates at Level 3 and all Level 4 provision
is provided by Truro College (47 miles, no direct public transport link) and
Cornwall College at the Camborne Campus (57 miles, no direct public transport
link).
The extent of Post-16 provision in North Cornwall in these two sectors is:
| Bodmin Community College,

* - Ultra Training Limited is a training organisation supporting work-based
learning.
The proposed specialist ‘hub’ and local ‘spoke’ model
that is proposed would therefore ensure an equality of access to courses across
the district. In discussion with skills sector councils and economic development
agencies, it would seem there is demand for, and it would be possible to run,
a range of courses across the hospitality, catering, tourism and retail sectors,
delivering in partnership with further and higher education partners.

Further/Higher Education
The Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC) have undertaken a large scale research
project to inform the most effective way to deliver their services across Cornwall.
The results for North Cornwall show the demand for CUC services is widely spread
across different levels of training and across subjects. The varying nature
of demand and geographical spread of population provides a major challenge for
the way services are delivered in the area. However, CUC are committed to the
principle of facilities in North Cornwall, and have expressed their support
of the development proposed here.
The rural delivery model proposed is very much in line with the ethos of the
Combined Universities in Cornwall.
