Leaving school?


Are you just about to take your GCSEs or have you recently finished school? Maybe you’re still at school and want to gain more hands-on experience, or perhaps your school doesn’t offer the A Levels you really want to do. If so, here at Bedford College we will help you find a course or an apprenticeship to match your skills and ambitions – and the vast majority of both our full and part-time courses are free for 16–18 year olds.


 

Open Day today - main site and Motor Vehicle and Plumbing (both Kempston) from 2pm to 8pm

English courses available at all levels - click here to email us and book your appointment for a free assessment!
