Kingston Maurward College

Here at Kingston Maurward, you will experience a brand new world of learning. All our full-time courses offer an exciting ‘hands on’ approach to education that combines academic knowledge with practical application, both on our stunning campus and in the workplace.

We are passionate about success and providing you with the necessary support to help you achieve your goals. Built on a rich history of 60 years’ experience within land-based subjects, today we offer some of the best practical teaching facilities in the country.

Our students really do thrive and grow here. They tell us that they enjoy the independence that college offers, the friendly and welcoming nature of the campus and staff, as well as the key preparation skills for starting work or university level courses.

With success rates above the national average in most areas, we are proud of our academic record and we are confident that we can offer a course to suit your needs.

Many courses prepare you for a future in your dream job in the great outdoors – from Gamekeeper, Countryside Ranger or Farmer, to Horse Groom, Personal Trainer or Animal Nursing Assistant.

If you want to venture into an industrial role the welding and blacksmithing courses taught in our modern airy workshop and forge could lead you into a career as a Welder, Fabricator or Mechanical Engineering Technician.

Perhaps life in the forces or in the uniformed public services has caught your interest – our Public Services courses will put you through your paces with rigorous fitness regimes, teamwork and expedition skills.

You could work creatively as Florist, sourcing and selecting beautiful plants; or perhaps nurturing them as a Horticulturist or Landscape Gardener.

Full-time further education courses start September 2015 and Apprenticeships and part-time courses start throughout the year –we have employers looking for Customer Service and Business Administration Apprentices for immediate start!

Our specialised Higher Education courses include HND in Equine Management, and Foundation and Top Up Degrees in Animal Behaviour & Welfare and Marine Ecology & Conservation.
