In August 2011, the college changed its name to West Lancashire College. The following month the college moved to a new £42.8 million campus, based near to its old demolished Northway Campus in Skelmersdale.

Present

The college currently offers a range of courses to students from the local area. These courses include Diplomas, NVQs, Apprenticeships, Access courses, A-Levels, and as of 2023, T-Levels. Additionally, the college also offers a range of Higher Education Foundation Degree courses. The campus of the college contains facilities that replicate real life working environments for students to learn in. These specialised business units include hairdressing salons and a bistro, and are open to the public.
