West Kent College

West Kent College is located in the market town of Tonbridge in the heart of the Weald of Kent. Tonbridge is served by excellent rail links to the Sussex and Kent coasts as well as being just a 35-minute train journey from central London.

The College itself offers a range of academic and vocational courses, both full and part time in areas such as Creative and Performing Arts, Construction Crafts and Childcare. Also on offer are adult leisure and professional courses.

Higher Education courses are delivered in partnership with the Universities of Greenwich, Kent and Canterbury Christchurch.

In September 2011 the College will be opening our brand new, £86m campus. The first phase of the new build is due to open in early summer 2010. This will offer state-of-the-art facilities, including training kitchens and restaurant, hair and beauty salons and cutting-edge classrooms, as well as a dedicated performing arts space.

We also have a dedicated business development team, offering a comprehensive advisory service to employers, to:

• Reduce recruitment costs
• Maximise training budgets
• Identify government support for employers in a rapidly changing environment.
