Welcome to Key College

We believe that every young person should have the opportunity to fulfil their potential. We simply provide suitable learning courses, the right environment and highly-qualified and dedicated tutors to make sure this happens.

We offer courses in Childcare, Hospitality & CateringRetail Knowledge, Practical Work Skills, Health & Social Care, and Sports, Fitness & Health.

At campuses in Derby, and Ilkeston, we provide a range of accredited full-time education for young people aged 16-18, and, if the student has an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan, up to the age of 24 in some instances.

We are proud of our links with many local businesses, enabling us to offer our learners relevant practical work experience and volunteer opportunities. Our highly qualified and experienced team have been delivering a quality training provision across Derby and Derbyshire for over 10 years. We are proud to be an Ofsted regulated training provider, and we have recently retained full Matrix accreditation for the high quality of the information, advice and guidance we provide for our students.

With our admin on holiday, trained learners step up to collate and order lunches in. FMFE is not a taboo at Key College. We are all in the same boat and are entitled to lunch. 😋. We order our FMFE from our local cafe the way any other person would to relieve any stigma.
A special thank you to South Perk Cafe for being our provider 🥰
