CHOOSING WHAT TO STUDY, AND WHERE TO STUDY, IS NO EASY DECISION FOR ANY SCHOOL LEAVER.

We realise that the decision is as big for you, the parents and carers, as it is for your student to be.  When thinking about their future, they value your advice and guidance, and so do we.

The Bedford College Group strives to provide a successful, supportive, and safe environment for all of our students, so you can relax in the knowledge that your son or daughter is free to worry about their studies, and nothing else. The move to College can be a big transition and we want to work with you to make their time with us as enjoyable and productive as possible.

We know that there are essential things you’ll want to find out  – what support your child can receive, information about student finance, term dates, our facilities and colleges, and our range of courses.
