The campuses are all centrally located in modern, multi-storied buildings. Each has a spacious student common room.

Natcoll has been a major contributor in the revision of pre-press qualifications and the development of a new curriculum for the industry. The technical expertise within the College and the links to industry has meant that students undertaking Natcoll's courses are working in conditions similar to those found in the workplace.

Natcoll's entry criteria are flexible and do not rely solely on academic qualifications. All applicants are interviewed in person and campus staff will ensure that creative abilities as well as prior learning are taken into account when selecting the appropriate diploma course.

The high staff/student ratio allows students to benefit from working with experienced tutors. The self-paced work modules allow students to comfortably follow their own particular strengths.

Each campus has a student representative body which meets regularly with campus principals and campus staff. Issues relating to courses and facilities are quickly dealt with through these forums.
