The Croydon College Group, encompassing Croydon College, Coulsdon Sixth Form and Croydon University Centre, has a long history of delivering education.

roydon College offers a wide range of technical and vocational qualifications, including apprenticeships, which are career-based and are tailored towards real working environments and are designed to give students the best opportunities to gain the qualifications and skills they need for the career they want. The College has recently received over £60 million in investments and is planning further improvements. The College prides itself on top-quality teaching spaces, industry standard facilities, software, and equipment, as well as links to over 1,000 employers. Studying at the College prepares students for the workplace, by creating a learning
environment that blends hands-on technical learning with knowledge and professional work experience. Coulsdon Sixth Form College provides the young people of Coulsdon and the surrounding area with an exceptional sixth-form experience. Small enough to know each individual student, yet big enough to provide wide subject choice and access to amazing facilities and teachers who bring their industry experience to the classrooms, studios, and workshops. The choice of subjects at the College is extensive with 30 A Levels to choose from and a wide range of BTEC subjects. There is more choice at Coulsdon than many other school sixth forms or colleges and its small class sizes provide room for individual attention and support. Students can also build their own programme of study combining A Levels and BTECs where appropriate, allowing a specialist focus on their studies while boosting their UCAS points.
Croydon University Centre, located right in the heart of Croydon, are passionate about offering high quality, affordable university degrees and higher national programmes directly to community. Courses are designed with local stakeholders in industries with high demand including healthcare, nursing, teacher training and construction. Tuition is offered in small groups in a supportive and inclusive environment, making the Centre a truly unique place to study, with contact time built flexibly around existing work, childcare or other commitments. The College has a partnership with the University of Roehampton – one of the top ten universities in London. This collaborative partnership ensures the programmes are updated and incorporate important employability elements and essential academic skills within it. This allows students a real opportunity to further their career ambitions or progress to postgraduate opportunities beyond Croydon University Centre.
