Huge Choice of Courses From construction to creative arts, business and beauty, our course offering is as varied as our students’ interests. With hundreds of programmes available across four campuses, there’ s something here for everyone.
A Supportive College Environment In our Ofsted inspection last year, we were rated‘ Good’, with‘ Outstanding’ for behaviours and attitudes. Inspectors praised the college for fostering a calm, inclusive and welcoming atmosphere where learners thrive, commenting:“ Learners and apprentices rightly appreciate the welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment that staff create at North Kent College … Learners develop into well-rounded, responsible individuals during their time at the college.”
Industry-Level Facilities From cutting-edge studios to specialist training environments, our facilities help students gain real-world skills. A point appreciated by Ofsted, who said:“ Learners benefit significantly from the high-quality, often industry-standard resources … Musical theatre learners at Dartford appreciate the excellent performance spaces... Animal management learners at Hadlow develop skills with exotic species at a leading national centre for reptiles.”
Our facilities include the £ 22m Osterberg Sports Centre, the National Maritime Training Centre, cutting-edge Assisted Living Technology Suites and a Centre of Excellence in greenhouse growing, just to name a few!
Learn from Experienced Professionals Our teaching staff bring valuable industry expertise into the classroom.“ Teachers are experts in their subject and often have extensive industry experience,” said Ofsted.“ They use their understanding of workplace practices skilfully to help learners acquire substantial new knowledge, skills and behaviours that are valued by employers.”
Hadlow College is Kent’ s Only Rural and Land-Based College Our beautiful Hadlow campus is set in the picturesque surroundings of a large managed estate that includes over 265 acres of prime arable land.
