Find out about the study and leisure facilities at the Ellon Learning Centre.
The Ellon Learning Centre is part of the new Ellon Academy Community Campus which opened in August 2015. It is an annexe to the larger school building, but with separate access for College students.
The centre has multiple classrooms, a reception area, lockers, a comfortable social space and an outdoor area specifically designed for construction projects. A practical work area is also available to accommodate school-based groups for Skills for Work programmes, concentrating on subjects like energy and engineering.
The Ellon Learning Centre is based next to the new Ellon Academy building in Ellon, Aberdeenshire. It is less than 20 miles from Aberdeen, and well situated for those based in rural areas.
The Ellon Learning Centre is well served by local transport links, with buses leaving the centre of Aberdeen regularly, and buses from other rural towns and villages available as well. The Centre is also easily accessible by road, due to its central position within Ellon.
We cover a wide range of course levels across a range of different subject areas, and aim to deliver inspirational teaching from each of our modern and well-equipped campuses.
Our part–time courses will help you change career, upskill your existing knowledge and expertise, or give you an extra qualification to help you land that big promotion!

“College gave me the start I needed in the automotive industry. The lecturers helped me get my apprenticeship and from there I built up my knowledge and experience between my time at work and in College. “
“College really helped me bridge the gap between being in relatively small classes at school and being in huge lectures at university.”
“I think for someone like me who didn’t particularly enjoy school or achieve the exam results I wanted there, College was definitely the best option. It also prepared me for university life and set me up with the skills I needed for further study. “
“NESCol is the place that restored my faith in the education system and I was very fortunate to form great relationships, making friends for life and learning from lecturers that could see my passion and believed in me!”
