The college has over 2800 full time students and over 10000 part time adult learners. The college has recently expanded their construction centre to include the marine sector. Lead by Gary Hales and a number of seasoned shipwright lecturers, the partnership with Composite Mouldings came about through a lack of space at the colleges Marchwood facility and an experienced composite company being neighbours.
