Open Afternoons

Book your place at an IBTC Portsmouth Open Afternoon

Studying Joinery or Boatbuilding is a big decision; seeing the college in action and meeting the team can be the best way to work out if the courses are right for you.

Open Afternoons are currently happening virtually, via Zoom. In person Open Afternoons will restart as soon as conditions allow. Under 18's must be accompanied by an adult, but all are welcome to bring a friend or relative with them on the day. There is no upper age limit for students.
