Skills Centre

Liberty College is based in a fantastic new centre at Westwood Cross in Margate, which is easily accessible as the bus stop is only a few minutes walk from the centre.

Inside our training centre, you will find friendly and comfortable surroundings with Wi-Fi throughout that you can use during your breaks.  Our centre is fully accessible with a lift and accessible toilet facilities.  

Training Rooms

The Skills Centre has 13 training rooms including a fully equipped Training Salon and Art Studio, there is also a purpose built Construction Workshop and Mechanics Workshop on site. We are also very proud of our Liberty College Allotment where our Horticulture and Land Based Construction learners spend much of their time.  

                   

 

The Grub Hub 

This is where our learners spend their break times and have their lunch.  There are comfortable sofas as well as dining tables and chairs.

                                               

The Chill Zone

This is where our learners spend their break times.   Liberty College has bean bags, comfortable chairs and sofas in all recreation areas and the Chill Zone also has pool tables, table football and games you can play if it's too cold to go outside.

                                                                                               

The Zen Zone

If the Chill Zone is too noisy for you or you need a time out from lessons, the Zen Zone is a quiet area.  This is a safe space where you can have some time to calm and relax, away from any sensory overload. We have sensory support tools to help you regulate your emotions either with or without staff support.
