Reid Kerr College was a further education college in Paisley, Renfrewshire. According to its website, it was one of the fastest growing further education institutions in Scotland with over 20,000 students, 650 staff and 300 courses. Reid Kerr offered a range of courses in a variety of areas including business & management, construction, computing & e-commerce, engineering, hospitality, hairdressing & beauty, science, sport, health & care, creative arts, languages, communication and support for learning. Courses were available on a full-time, part-time, day or evening basis or by distance learning and covered a range of levels from Highers, NC, HNC and HND to professional qualifications. The College also provided training and staff development customised to meet business and commercial needs and assists in the development and growth of businesses.[1]

The college student association was a member of the National Union of Students and was there to support the students and ensure that they had a voice. It was administered by two elected paid students, a President and Vice President, along with the elected Executive Committee to represent students on all levels.

The last President was Michelle McCrorie and last Vice President was John Black.
