Develop your skills. Be ready, be the future...

Join the West of England Institute of Technology at Weston College and University Centre Weston to become the 'creators and makers' of the future.

What is an Institute of Technology (IoT)?

Institutes of Technology are funded by government to support local employers to create training learning and professional development in the key area of Technical Education focused on Levels 4 and 5. These higher technical skills will enable more employers to embrace the changes brought by digitalisation and the industrial 4.0 revolution. In order to compete in a global market we must have more of our workforce able to operate in this space, and the Institutes of Technology are designed to create that future workforce ready through the challenges of tomorrow.

Why study at an IoT?

IoTs offer an alternative to universities by specialising in delivering higher-level technical training.

This method of study offers a route for young people taking T Levels or A Levels to move onto higher-level technical education and will set them on the path to high-skilled careers. 

IoTs also cater for those who are already in employment looking to develop new skills or adult learners who want to access further training.
