Colleges Week!

 The Mayor

The Mayor of Bedford stopped by Bedford College's Colleges Week stand in the Harpur Shoppping Centre as Bedford College beauty students gave mini-manicures to shoppers.

Bedford College celebrated national Colleges Week by staging a three day event in the Harpur Centre, Bedford, where people of all ages could learn about learning.

Part and full-time courses, evening classes, business and professional qualifications are all available on the riverside campus of Bedford College.

 

“One in ten people in Bedford have at one time or another been students at Bedford College.This access to further and higher education has enhanced people’s work and life experiences. At no time has this been more important,” explains Director of Sales and Marketing  Sarah Baxter.

“Everyone can benefit from seeing what career options are open to them if they have the right qualifications and what promotions can be won with professional training. Just pop along and see us at the Harpur Centre during normal shopping hours from Wednesday 11 to Friday 13 November - and find out how this could be lucky for everyone.”

Bedford College has 16,000 students ranging from 14 year old school pupils who attend vocational courses one day a week, to mature students who undertaken professional and work-based training, or return to learn by taking A Levels and winning a place at Cambridge University.
