North Hertfordshire College, which operates in Stevenage and Hitchin, is set to unveil its new T-level facilities.
An official launch will take place from 3.30pm until 5pm this afternoon (Tuesday, December 12).
The new facilities, funded by the Department for Education, were developed over the summer and include a range of teaching aids.
An industry-standard hospital ward and an independent living flat have been created to replicate the sites that students will work in, once they have completed their qualifications.
Digital and gaming suites have been designed to ensure that IT students have the space and technology to work on their projects.
A state-of-the-art nutrition suite and an early years nursery setting have also been completed.
Introduced in 2020, T-levels are two-year technical programmes, equivalent to 3 A-levels, that have been developed alongside employers.
A spokesperson for North Hertfordshire College said: "The event promises to be an exclusive opportunity to celebrate the pioneering facilities designed to maximise their students’ vocational learning experience.

"The launch will begin with a reception by principal, Kit Davies, accompanied by refreshments and beverages.
"Attendees will then be taken on a tour of the new facilities, guided by the very students who benefit from these spaces daily.
"North Hertfordshire College proudly stands as the only college in the county to house these facilities, setting a new benchmark in T-Level education across Hertfordshire."
