Nescot is a large college specialising in employment-focused courses and training.

Further Education describes courses up to degree level, and we offer a wide range courses and levels so that our learners can progress to Higher Education – many of them choosing to do so at Nescot.

All our tutors have significant industry experience and their skills and experience enable our learners to gain a real understanding of working in their industry. Most full-time courses include work experience and many include additional qualifications to boost your employability.

Flexible day, evening and distance courses fit in with work and family so that studying is manageable. Class sizes are kept small so that you get to know tutors and classmates easily and have access to valuable personal help from your tutor.

Financial, careers, medical and counselling staff are available on campus and there is plentiful parking.

Nescot offers education and training opportunities to students from a wide range of ages and backgrounds. Our mission is to inspire and enable all our learners to achieve their goals and provide the skills needed in the economy.

We specialise in vocational and work based training, offering accredited qualifications that are both recognised and sought after by employers. Our part-time study options range from skills boosting to get you back into work, professional and trade qualifications and vocationally relevant degree programmes and post graduate work. We also have a growing and exciting range of courses that can help you to develop a business or new skills for interest.

We understand that you will already have a busy and complicated life so we try to offer course times that fit around work and families. At Nescot we keep our group sizes as small as possible and this enables us to provide you with more individual support. You can, of course, also expect state-of-the-art resources to support your learning.

Nescot has a national reputation for science higher education, particularly in Biomedical Science, Perfusion and Acoustics, and is also home to the Surrey Institute of Osteopathic Medicine. Our HNDs, Degrees and Masters are designed and taught by industry specialists with a large emphasis on clinical and industry placements, so you will learn the latest theories and techniques with the latest equipment, hardware and software.

Studying locally is proving increasingly popular as colleges continue to develop programmes of courses which meet their local communities' needs, whilst maintaining their national specialisms. Nescot's HE courses are also exceptionally competitively priced and we have experts in student finance on hand to ensure cost is no barrier to your learning.

We purposely keep our class sizes small, which makes for a friendly and caring environment and you will find you have far more access to your tutors than is usual. All our higher education students are allocated a personal tutor and, in addition to your lectures, tutorials are held on both an individual and a group basis.

One examiner recently commented that he thought the students on a Nescot Computing course would not have achieved so much in a larger university. 20% of our graduates achieved the highest classification for their award.

We also make every effort to offer our HE courses with part-time, flexible and evening study options, to fit in with work and home commitments.

Many of our HNC, HND and Foundation Degree students stay on for another year to 'top up' their qualification to a full degree. Often referred to as a 2+1, this option offers a truly industry focused and practical degree, valued by employers, together with flexibility and choice if you do not feel able to commit to a three-year programme of study at the moment.

Whichever you choose, you can be confident that taking your education further with Nescot College will give you the tools to dramatically improve your career prospects.

Nescot's Gas and Electrical Academy was established to give trade professionals and their staff the most comprehensive industry training available.

Unlike many training centres, staff at the Academy are not only experienced gas, heating and electrotechnical experts but also highly skilled tutors. The Academy's staff identify which learning style will suit a trainee best and use this to make the learning as enjoyable and effective as possible. This enables you and your staff to qualify faster and better. We don't just sit you down with past papers and textbooks, we show you what you need to know and make sure you can do it perfectly on our state-of-the-art test rigs.

Nescot's experienced teaching staff are at the forefront of training and have partnerships with big trade names to get you the best kit and learning materials and the newest technology and industry innovations.

We have close relationships with training boards so our course prices include textbooks and learning materials which private trainers can only offer as expensive extras. The courses are run to fit in with professional lifestyles, so you can get your new qualifications in blocks, one day a week, evenings or in some cases even while you work. And because we understand the sector we can create a package of qualifications which fully delivers what you need to know - for example our heating engineers can take advantage of our electrical know how, gaining certificates to connect as well as fit the latest technology.

Being part of Nescot we are able to keep our overheads down while delivering this level of training with the latest technology and equipment. Prices are competitive because all you pay for is the training. There are no added extras like VAT, exam, admin or equipment and materials fees. The price we quote is the only price you pay.

By studying at Nescot you have access to all of the opportunities and services on offer to students, including excellent sport and leisure facilities, subsidised refectory, extensive IT suites in the Learning Resource Centre and much more.

Nescot's Gas and Electrical Academy offers all the industry standard qualifications including City and Guild Certificates and Electrical Part P qualifications as well as more specialised courses to sharpen your skills. We can work with groups and organisations to tailor individual times, qualifications packages and prices.

If you are serious about IT and gaining industry recognised professional qualifications from a quality provider, Nescot offers an unrivalled range.

We at Nescot are pleased to announce that we have gained CITRIX and SAP Academy status: another first for any FE college in the UK. This enables us to offer courses in this area for the first time this year and we are looking forward to expanding this exciting work further. Nescot computing students have again successfully competed in the UK World Skills competition this year and employers work closely with the team to ensure that our computing courses provide the skills that employers need. We offer MICROSOFT and ORACLE training as well.

Nescot runs its very own Industry Forum, which is made up of 30 IT companies, ranging from software development to network engineering, having local as well as international scope. We also provide level 3 and 4 Apprenticeships in IT and are currently working with 15 companies. We were one of the first colleges in the England to offer Higher Apprenticeships.
