Brockenhurst College

Brockenhurst College, commonly referred to as Brock, is a further education college that offers a wide range of apprenticeship and professional training options alongside its sixth form, adult and higher education provision. For employers, the College delivers apprenticeships as a cost‑effective way to reduce recruitment and training costs, improve productivity and address skills gaps, including options to upskill existing staff through professional apprenticeship programmes. Employers can choose from a range of delivery models and receive expert guidance on using the Apprenticeship Levy, including support with Digital Apprenticeship Service accounts and funding rules. The College works with hundreds of regional businesses to design programmes that provide measurable returns on investment and long‑term workforce development. For individuals, Brock offers apprenticeships that enable learners to earn while they learn, gaining industry‑relevant knowledge and skills aligned to national apprenticeship standards. Apprenticeships typically last from one to four years, include at least 20% off‑the‑job training, and are funded by government and employers, so there are no tuition costs to the apprentice. Brockenhurst College also provides extensive adult learning, professional, leisure, online and higher education courses, giving both employers and learners multiple options for progression and upskilling.
