What is a Career College?
BDC - A Digital & Creative Career College
Career Colleges are a new concept in education, with employers taking
a leading role in designing and delivering the curriculum.
At a Career College, hands-on practical training is combined with academic
teaching. You will learn through practical experiences, projects set by
employers and of course, quality work experience opportunities.
If London's reputation as a global centre for digital and
creative sectors inspires you, then you'll need the best
professional and technical training to be ready to join
the buzz and break into the industry.
London's national award-winning Barking & Dagenham
College is a Digital & Creative Career College. It means
that your professional and technical training has been
designed by employers to help young adults, just like
you, get the right skills for the job.
You'll benefit from our enhanced access to digital,
tech and creative industry employers. It means that
you'll meet these industry leaders during your training
so you can find out what they look for in their new
recruits and exactly what jobs are out there.
Choose from a wide range of digital sectors including
Games Design & Animation, Graphic Design, Digital
Media, Coding & Programming, Networking, Cyber
Security, Software Development and much more. As
part of your course, you'll get access to real work briefs
from clients which will look great on your CV.
You'll study in specialist, high tech work spaces,
equipped with the latest equipment and software:
• iCreate@BDC: our 1,000 sqm digital and creative
hub opened by HRH The Duke of York, KG in 2014
