Basingstoke College of Technology

Basingstoke College of Technology (BCoT) is a dynamic college with industry-standard facilities in a large campus in Basingstoke and a training centre in nearby Bordon. The College offers advanced technical, vocational and academic qualifications that help our students go onto Russell Group universities, higher training or work. We also run a successful apprenticeship and in-work learning programme delivered through our Aspiral Learning team. Our HNCs and HNDs are university-level courses where you can gain qualifications, stage by stage, and work towards a final degree or simply be better qualified for the job market. We also offer part-time courses in a range of subjects from accountancy to car maintenance. As a key part of our local community, some or our real-world training areas – like Evolve Salon and The Restaurant at BCoT – are open to the public. With our open days, workshops or advice and guidance events, we help students choose the right path for them and our teachers have the industry experience and enthusiasm to keep them on track.
