North Kent College

North Kent College has been rated Grade 2 'Good'​ by Ofsted once again (November 2017). The College remains at the forefront of its provision of Further and Higher Education, apprenticeships, corporate training and part-time short courses. We have campuses based in Dartford, Gravesend and Tonbridge. The College works alongside the business community to offer courses which provide skills required to boost the economy and upskill employees. The College provides a wide variety of vocational courses for more approximately 5,000 students and apprentices from the main campuses based in Dartford and Gravesend. Along with our extensive range of Further Education courses, we have an excellent Higher Education provision linked with the University of Greenwich. We also offer a variety of commercial training courses for business. The college has invested nearly £90 million in new facilities at both the Dartford and Gravesend campuses, which provide some of the best training provisions in the South East. For three years running the College was rated the most successful College in Kent and South East London, based on students successfully passing full-time courses. We are committed to helping students achieve their ambitions and our courses will prepare them for the real world as they focus on the hands-on practical experience that will be of huge benefit in the work place and going on to university.
