We will make every effort to provide
specific support or equipment to meet
your needs. Below are some examples:
Our Brook Street Site is accessible to learners
with disabilities with ramps, lifts and doors,
which facilitate access to all the buildings
and classrooms. Most of our ‘Outreach’
venues have suitable access but the majority
of these are not owned by City College
Peterborough and not all classrooms may
have disability access and/or facilities.
Before you enrol, please speak to a member
of our Customer Services Team on (01733)
761361 with queries regarding access to or
within one of our Outreach venues.
