Northbrook was previously West Sussex College of Design (WSCD) but amalgamated with Worthing Technical College and Chelsea College of Aeronautical and Automobile Engineering in 1985-86. Whilst the college retained its central Worthing site in Union Place, West Sussex County Council (WSCC) closed the workshops in Homefield Place, which were knocked down and are now the Environment Agency headquarters for the area.

It is also a significant provider of Higher Education in a variety of other work-related areas. The College, additionally, has contracts for apprenticeship training and adult and community learning, and provides courses in most work-related areas as well as those for personal development. It also runs courses at HMP Ford.
The college is also home to the Southern Theatre Arts Centre, providing theatre courses ranging from National Diplomas to Foundation Degrees and BA Hons, which like all Northbrook's higher education courses are affiliated with the University of Brighton. Its venue, The Northbrook Theatre, is a professional theatre that regularly hosts touring companies from around the UK and Europe. Productions in recent years include Wild Party, Chess, The Blue Room, Angles in America, Metamorphosis and West.
