Based at Wolverhampton Science Park, AoC WM promotes and supports the interests of general further education, sixth form and specialist colleges throughout the region.

The West Midlands is a diverse region and our colleges reflect this diversity. From small specialist colleges in rural locations to large inner city establishments, colleges reflect the needs of their local environment.

Working closely with key organisations, the local community and employers, our 49 colleges offer a broad range of flexible learning opportunities for individuals at all levels.

Colleges play an important part in the economy of the West Midlands and are committed to making a valuable contribution to the prosperity of the region.

They aim to give local people the skills they need, tackling barriers to learning and providing opportunities that meet the needs of individuals and employers.

AoC WM is managed by a regional committee comprising members from six sub-regions: Black Country, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, Birmingham and Solihull, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Coventry and Warwickshire.

Our aim is to grow our capability and extend the range of services we are able to provide for and on behalf of our members.
