Sleeper's College

Sleeper's College was a business education institution in Chester with facilities at Welsh Street that housed classrooms for secretarial and accounting courses plus study spaces for individual work. The facility focused on practical skills that students needed for careers in business and office work.

The institution was founded in 1910 by Josiah Sleeper and initially operated from Chester. In 1971, it relocated to Parkside, marking a major expansion of its ability to serve more students.

The college welcomed students of all ages and genders, creating a learning space where professional growth in business fields was accessible to everyone. This openness made it an important place for people seeking careers in secretarial and accounting work.

Visitors and prospective students could tour the facility to explore available courses and see the learning environment. Since it was a specialized school focused on business training, it was helpful to inquire in advance about which courses were offered.

The school was known for supporting students with flexible learning speeds rather than pushing all students at the same pace. This personalized approach allowed students who needed more time to gain skills at their own rhythm.
