The former campuses of the James Watt College in Largs and Kilwinning were transferred to the new Ayrshire College at the time of the merger.

The college curriculum offers courses from across a range of levels included in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework, including Highers, NC, HNC and HND. Most courses are available on a full-time, day basis; however, some are part-time or evening, and distance learning courses are also available.
