Post-16 Learning in Sunderland

23rd March 2026 by CareerWave

Here is a handy list of post-16 providers in your local area. We have split these into three main groups; Sixth Forms, Colleges of Further Education and Training Providers.

We also provide lists for neighbouring areas, so check them out too because there are reasons for people wanting to travel further for their education.

Please be aware that Training Providers are more difficult to keep a track of and many operate nationally and regionally. We have listed some notable ones, but our advice is to use the Find an Apprenticeship website to search for vacancies and identify Training Providers to contact.
