If you have any questions that you were hoping to ask us on Open Day, you can contact us at any time to get the answers you need. How you do this, is up to you! We have our live chat on our website which is manned throughout the day, or you can email us on ashford@ekcgroup.ac.uk. You can also phone our main reception team on 01233 743100 during 9 - 5 Monday to Friday.
On our Virtual Tour of Ashford College you can explore some of our great facilities, including Health and Social Care classrooms, our Student Centre, Computing Labs, the E-Hub, Art Studios, Business Hub and our professional Music Studio. This will give you a great idea of the size of Ashford College, and allow you to familarise yourself with our surroundings before you start.
At our Open Day, you can meet students and hear their experiences of College, as well as meet staff and see how they can support you. If you missed this, we also have stories from students past and present and current staff on our website blog. Reading these will help you understand what learning at Ashford College is all about, and see that students here have gone on to great things and improved their attitudes about themselves.
Our courses are sorted into departments that we call "Pathways", allowing students to get onto the path that they want to go into. We offer lots of pathways including our NEW Pathway, “Media”, and these can all be discovered on our website in depth, so that you can see what you will learn here at Ashford College. See what our entry requirements are as well as what units you will cover, and what people love about that pathway in particular.
On our website, we have a list of courses that we currently run or will be running in the future for 19+ students. At an Open Day, you can talk to staff about these in more detail, but our course pages will give you a great idea of what aims you will learn. You may be shocked to see how many areas we run adult courses in!
Remember, you can make an application to Ashford College anytime on our website. Just visit any of our Pathway pages or course pages, and click "Apply".
If you have missed an Open Day, chances are that it's not the last one of the current academic year. Here at Ashford College, we normally run one in November, January and April, with others potentially running in the summer. See when our next one is and maybe sign-up today!
