About Ayrshire College Ayrshire College formed as a result of the Scottish Government reform ‘Putting Learners at the Centre - Delivering our Ambitions for Post-16 Education’ whereby the previous colleges in the region were merged and became one educational entity with multiple campuses established across Ayrshire. Regionalisation, as the process was known, was a challenging time as it meant, in effect, three different ways of working, including systems, had to be brought together 8 and clear decisions made to ensure Ayrshire College delivered high-quality learning and teaching experiences within a supportive, inclusive and diverse environment. The College continues to move forward positively in these respects and embraces fully its role and position as a community-focused, regional college impacting on lives and influencing change far beyond Ayrshire.
