In England, City Technology Colleges (CTCs) are independent schools which charge no fees as their recurrent costs are borne by the Department for Education and Skills and private business sponsors. City Technology Colleges specialise in teaching mainly technology-based subjects such as technology, science and mathematics. The CTC programme was established in the late 80s by the Conservative government under the terms of the Education Reform Act 1988 and the Colleges themselves opened in the late 80s/early 90s.

CTCs also forge close links with businesses and industry (mainly through their sponsors), and often their governors are directors of local or national businesses that are supporting or have supported the colleges. The programme has been successful in the long term with all the CTCs being considered strong establishments with consistently high Academic results.

The government is currently encouraging CTCs to convert into City Academies (see City Academy), although the differences between the two types of school are small. Eight CTCs have been converted into Academies and twelve of the fifteen will eventually be converted.
