County Training, as part of Herefordshire, Ludlow and North Shropshire College, are the largest training provider in Shropshire, operating from several bases across the county. We are a major provider of apprenticeships and work-based training, as well as adult learning programmes for the unemployed and those seeking to progress into further education or employment.

The curriculum includes provision for apprenticeships and work based learning across the Health & Social Care, Childcare, Teaching Support, Business Administration & Management, I.T., Catering and Hairdressing sectors, with a remit to grow apprenticeships in other areas such as plumbing, motor vehicle and electrical installation (in partnership with North Shropshire College).
