Our Group

As a family of six community-based Colleges and nine Training Centres across East Kent, our mission is to play a leading role for East Kent in developing the economic and social prosperity of the communities we serve.

East Kent Colleges Group is the leading provider of technical and vocational education in East Kent, giving opportunities to more than 14,000 students. Building on the success of its six Colleges, the Group offers learning from nursery age through to Higher Education.

With Colleges in Ashford, Broadstairs, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone and Sheppey, as well as an adult training unit, an award-winning hotel and a Multi Academy Trust, East Kent Colleges Group is a major educational institution which serves the whole of the East Kent region.

The Group seeks to make a practical and positive difference for the six districts in which it operates, celebrating the transformative power of education and skills for each student, their family, and the communities within which they live and work.

Firm believers in lifelong learning, East Kent Colleges Group provides adult education and skills training as well as continuing professional development for companies. And, with more than 1,500 staff, it is also a key anchor organisation in East Kent, turning over circa £65m per annum.
