Blackpool and the Fylde College is a further and higher education college in Blackpool, Lancashire, England.

Facilities include 4 main campuses located across the Fylde Coast, all of which have recently undergone or are currently undergoing major redevelopment to deliver state-of-the-art teaching and learning resources.

The college is an Associate College of Lancaster University and offers full and part time further education, higher education and vocational courses along with apprenticeships. They are the third general further education college in the UK to receive Grade 1 Outstanding through Ofsted and have been designated a National Beacon of Excellence by the government. In a recent QAA inspection they were judged by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) as fully meeting UK standards, with 2 out of the possible 3 additional areas judged as commended and 11 areas of good practice being cited.

The college supported over 22k students to success in 2014. With a 92.9% overall success rate, they topped the rankings of colleges in England. (Source: The Skills Funding Agency national success rate tables).

The sites in Fleetwood form a specialised Nautical campus, which teaches MCA-accredited courses for merchant seafarers and offshore workers. The maritime courses are taught in association with Liverpool John Moores University rather than Lancaster University.
