WHO ARE WE

Access Creative College [ACC] is the UK’s largest national independent training provider with 30 years of experience in educating creative 16-18 and 19+ year-olds.

Our campuses

Birmingham campus image

We believe there’s no better place to hone your craft than with us right here in Digbeth. Every year, a fresh cohort of young creators walk through our doors and become part of a local creative and technological community that is working to redefine what’s possible in their fields.

Bristol campus facilities

ACC Bristol, based in the heart of the city on Broadmead, has been designed to be as bright, colourful and exciting as the rest of town.

We’ve kitted the place out from top to bottom with the best, industry grade equipment, so you’ll be ready for industry with an understanding of the tools and skills needed to really flourish.

Lincoln campus image
London campus image

Our brand new, state of the art campus opened its doors in September 2023. This brand new creative hub for gaming, esports, music, media and computing, spans across 19,000 sq. ft on London’s Commercial road in the East End.

The campus features our first dedicated esports classroom, complete with competition wings, a multi-functional event venue and a live music suite fitted with innovative recording studios, rehearsal rooms and production pods.

Manchester campus image

Manchester is home to not one, but two ACC centres on Oxford Street and Hulme Street. Our Oxford Street centre hosts our music students and our Hulme Street centre is where you’ll find games and media and each one is dedicated to the disciplines they house. They’re also only a 16 minute walk from each other, so collaboration between courses is still on the table.

Norwich campus image

ACC Norwich is on Magdalen Street at the edge of the busy city centre, on the same site as the renowned working TV studio and performance venue, Epic Studios.

Creatives gravitate to the area, so it’s an ideal place to refine your skills for the future while also getting in some networking. If tech is more your speed, you’re surrounded by tech hubs that form the aforementioned Tech Corridor and a commutable distance away.

Plymouth campus image

ACC Plymouth is filled with professional grade equipment in a space tailored to games and music. It’s also only a 15 minute walk from the heart of the city and the coast, so you can get busy delving into the rich, energetic creative culture or head down to the water’s edge and relax after lessons.
