North East Surrey College of Technology

Nescot, the North East Surrey College of Technology, is a large further and higher education college which attracts students from the local community, nationally and overseas. Established over 50 years ago, Nescot works with employers, local schools and the community to ensure that our courses are both relevant and current.

In 2007 Nescot was inspected by Ofsted who awarded the provision in the college 7 grade 2s. No area of the college has unsatisfactory provision. Nescot makes no secret of its ambition to become a grade 1 college and you will find the staff committed to enabling you to succeed.

The CISCO Academy at the college has a regional status, enabling us to train other centres and we have a national reputation for higher education in Osteopathy, Acoustics and Biological Science. Unusually there are progression routes from pre-entry to HE within the college, so students can remain at Nescot to take their studies forward.
