Welcome to the website of the Association of Northern Ireland Colleges (ANIC), your gateway to Northern Ireland’s six new colleges of Further and Higher Education.

On 1st August 2007, Northern Ireland's 16 FE colleges merged to create six new area-based FE colleges. This is the beginning of a new era for further education and is a very exciting development for the future of vocational educational and training for learners, businesses and communities throughout Northern Ireland.
