The Nautical Campus is situated in extensive grounds on the outskirts of Fleetwood. We are well placed for road and rail access. It is easily reached by road (M6, M55, A585), by rail (Blackpool North) and Manchester Airport is 1 1/2 hours away.

The main building houses the classrooms, including the 5-Bridge Full Mission Ship Simulator, Computer Suites, Electronic Labs for GMDSS and Navigational Instruments. Students use the latest computers for word-processing, other software packages and access to the Internet. CD-ROM is available for study and research.

Fleetwood Nautical Library and Learning Resource Centre at Blackpool and The Fylde College, provides specialised resources for Offshore and Maritime studies. The centre is located on B deck at Fleetwood Nautical Campus, Broadwater, Fleetwood.

Our state-of-the-art Environmental Survival Training Tank is also situated on the campus. The Student Common Room, Refectory and Administrative Offices are on the ground floor, while next door are the Halls of Residence.

Off-site we have facilities in Fleetwood at the marine lake for Boatwork & Seamanship, and survival exercises using a Training Platform on the River Wyre.

The Fire Fighting Training takes place at our purpose-built Fire Ground located at Burn Naze/Thornton.

In this age of inner city congestion our spacious campus and plentiful parking are tangible benefits. For those who wish to live off the campus there is plenty of local accommodation to rent at realistic prices.

The main campus of Blackpool and The Fylde College is at Bispham, which is approximately three miles from the Fleetwood campus.
