About our Alness campus ...
Addressing the need for superior training facilities in the area, our Alness campus offers a broad range of courses, and also organises many of the work based qualifications which are available throughout our network.
The campus is situated at the business park on the southern edge of town. This location provides the IT infrastructure required to enhance the learning experience at the facility. The bright and airy building with stunning views over the surrounding area offers courses in care and childcare subjects, as well as a wide range of computing.
Computing
Our computing subjects cater for those of all abilities, from ECDL and CISCO programmes all the way down to the particularly popular 'Computers For The ABSOLUTELY Terrified.'
We also operate a dedicated training facility at River Wynd, Teaninich Industrial Estate.
Business & Administration
Newly available at our Alness campus are the Higher National units in Business & Administration, which can be studied in a flexible format to suit your work commitments.
Care
Courses available at our Alness campus for those established in or hoping to join the care sector are many and varied. The learning workshops for these courses are designed with your needs in mind and are accessible for both full and part time learners. Home study or online learners are also welcome when extra support is required.
Equestrian
We provide Equestrian Skills here on a flexible study basis which leads towards a National Qualification and Higher National units. Students attend the centre to make use of the computer facilities whilst studying much of the theory in their own time. The course is largely built around the option to attend a local stable for to help cover practical aspects and provide some 'hands on' experience.
Performance
For those wishing to study Music Performance (traditional and modern), we provide qualifications to National Certificate, Higher National Certificate, and Higher National Diploma levels. These courses feature study units designed to suit the needs of those learners from little or no experience all the way up to expert level. For those who would like to make a career on the other side of the fence, we offer the Higher National Certificate course in Sound Production.
Construction related
Following the successful introduction of our Roof Slating & Tiling training at the River Wynd facility, we now also offer Carpentry & Joinery there. This facility provides the facilities required to create a practical 'hands on' experience which we see as essential to this type of training.

About Alness ...
Alness is located in the Scottish Highlands on the pleasant shores of the Cromarty Firth.
Only moments from the main A9, the town is renowned for its success in both the the Scotland and Britain in Bloom contests. However, Alness has an even greater claim to fame; how many small towns in Britain can claim to have an imitation of the gates of Negapataum of India?
