Board of Governors
The Governing body comprises at least 10 members drawn from a range of backgrounds and experience. The membership reflects the varied communities which the College serves.
The Board is responsible for the overall functioning of the College. In general terms, it is responsible for the quality of service that the College offers to learners, as well as the College’s financial health and strategic direction.
The Board is a team with a broad blend of skills. It meets six times per year to consider strategic developments and systematic monitoring of College performance.
