About us

Part of East Kent Colleges Group’s family, EKC Ashford College offers a number of full and part-time courses, serving Ashford and the wider region of East Kent.

EKC Ashford College strives to cater for the needs of every student.

Our primary aim is to give you the best preparation for your next step, whether that be additional education or supporting your transition into the workplace.

We want to ensure that you achieve at your highest possible level, and by deciding to study with us you’ll benefit from excellent lecturers and a high level of student support.

As a College at the heart of our community as well as being located in the centre of Ashford, we have excellent employer links. These help us provide work experience to you that focuses on skill development and updating knowledge for the job market.

Our state-of-the-art facilities will enable you to maximise your potential, with a successful bid for Government funding enabling us to open Phase 2 of our College development. This building has a specialist ‘Engineering Hub’ and advanced facilities for those studying Digital, Construction and Business.

Whether you are a school leaver, returning to education or an adult hoping to learn new skills, we have something for you.

If you’d like to experience the College for yourself, our Open Days are a great way to meet the tutors, find out more about the course and take a look at our learning facilities. You can also explore our courses online.
