Education Partnership North East

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

The College has committed to helping establish employment opportunities for Service leavers, reservist and their family members and recognising the unique and transferable skills and experiences they possess. To support this commitment, we have committed to offering an interview to any service leaver, reservist or their family members, who meet the essential criteria of the role they have applied for.

About us

Education Partnership North East (EPNE) is a dynamic partnership between Sunderland College, Hartlepool Sixth Form and Northumberland College.

We believe that culture and quality are equally important and as such place a high value on living and breathing our professional values. We are constantly striving to ensure that we are consistently authentic, respectful, innovative and ambitious for our students, people and partners.

Our people come to work every day to make a positive difference to our community of approximately 21,500 student. We are passionate about positively contributing to the social, economic and educational outcomes of our region.

Following the merger with Hartlepool Sixth Form and Northumberland College, we are now one of the largest college groups in the country and the largest provider of Apprenticeships in the North East. Our campuses span across Northumberland, Sunderland and Hartlepool; with a catchment areas from Berwick-upon-Tweed to the Tees Valley. While we are working hard to create a one-college approach, each one of our colleges will remain strongly connected to the communities they serve.
