Bridgwater & Taunton College

Bridgwater & Taunton College is located in Somerset, in the heart of South West England, in a strategic position that offers easy access to the rest of the UK. The College has centres in Bridgwater, Taunton and Cannington, as well as outreach centres in Yeovil and Paignton. The College’s traditional role as a further and higher education college remains key, but workforce training has now become an integral part of its business; it also caters for individuals of all ages seeking to improve their career prospects by re-training or up-skilling in order to move into, or progress within employment. The College has an excellent reputation regionally, nationally and internationally as a highly successful provider of education and training, and is one of the best resourced colleges in the UK. It has strategically placed itself at the forefront of technical and professional training to support businesses seeking to capitalise on the wealth of opportunities coming to our region as the UK moves from recession to recovery. For several years now it has been working with employers to develop and deliver a relevant, dynamic curriculum that addresses current and emerging skills gaps, particularly for higher level technical and professional training, and its early engagement and innovative approach has been widely recognised within the sector.
