Commercial Services @ RNN Group

RNN Group is an education and training provider, meeting the needs of thousands of employers, adults and school leavers every year and contributing at the heart of our communities.

Further and Higher Education Centres

The RNN Group includes four campuses of career-focused further and higher education centres in South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire alongside our partner organisation, the National Fluid Power Centre.

We educate school leavers, undergraduates, employees and those re-joining the workforce with a focus on ensuring learners leave equipped with the necessary skills to join or re-join the workforce.

Training Venues

Our campuses also house training venues – dining, salons and a gym – that are open for members of the local community to use.

At Rotherham College, we have The Wharncliffe Restaurant, a fine dining restaurant open for lunches and dinners and special events throughout the college year.

There is a salon based at Rotherham College too, offering great value hair and beauty treatments to the local public. Both of these venues are staffed by learners, under the watchful eye of our experts.

North Notts College and Dearne Valley College also have Salons available for members of the local community to use and enjoy, with Dearne Valley also having its very own gym with state of the art equipment available for local people to use following signing up for membership. 

Not only do we provide campus based education and training to learners in the form of Level 1, 2, 3 courses up to Level 7 and Masters courses across the campuses, with our on-site venues, but we also provide a range of other courses for learners to take advantage of including adult skills programmes, community courses and distance learning provision.
