The vision for South Essex College of Further and Higher Education is an ambitious one. We aim to provide outstanding education and skills training – on all of our courses for all of our students – in order to better meet the learning and skills needs of local people, employers and communities.
The values that underpin our approach are Aspiration, Access and Achievement:
