Stockton Riverside College, formerly the Stockton and Billingham College of Further Education, provides a wide range of full and part time courses; the youngest students being 14 and the oldest in their 80s. The college is a Centre for Vocational Excellence in Performing Arts and has a grade 1 inspection report in Leisure and Tourism.

The college had a limited IT infrastructure consisting of a mixture of hardware, with a poor ratio of computers to students and teachers. Out of an estate of 300, relatively few were networked or had Internet access.

A ten year contract was placed with Fujitsu in June 2000. Fujitsu took responsibility for the college's IT estate, installing new desktops and servers; establishing a network; setting up Internet access; implementing new software and providing support services.
