Blackburne House

Women's Technology And Education Centre (WTEC) was established in 1983. The aim was to attract low paid or unemployed women and equip them with the skills to progress into employment in technical professions; an area in which women are traditionally under-represented.

By 1991 the organisation had expanded considerably and it was therefore necessary to find new accommodation. Over £4 million was raised in order to refurbish Blackburne House.

Blackburne House is one of the leading women's education providers with a range of award winning social enterprises. The organisation has been officially recognised as a centre of excellence having been awarded Grade 1 for education provision by the LSC; this grade was only achieved by the top 8% of external Adult Education Institutions in Britain .

In addition, the centre is ranked in the top 10% of colleges and educational providers in the UK. WTEC continues to offer a variety of courses and the training remit now encompasses not only women embarking upon education for the first time but also professional women looking to broaden their skills and enhance their career prospects.
