About the centre:
ETS Yorkshire spans across 2 floors at West Riding House. Staff provide excellent support to students to enable them to get to the next step of their journey. There are 2 common rooms for learners to relax between lessons, including a kitchen in one of these common rooms, where learners can utilise the facilities to make their breakfast, lunch, or snacks. We also offer free breakfast for any learners who would like, including toast and cereal.

With our smaller than average class sizes, ETS Yorkshire might be the perfect place for you if you are overwhelmed by the larger crowds in mainstream colleges.

Here you will have access to specific vocational classrooms, a comfortable break out area (to use to study between lessons or take your breaks) and a wellbeing area should this be needed to discuss your course or take time out.
