Safeguarding

Huntingdonshire Regional College puts the safety of our students first. College ID cards are issued to all staff, students and visitors. All of our staff are CRB checked and given safeguarding training to ensure that the College provides as safe environment as possible.

Every full-time student will have a named Course Tutor whilst they are studying at College.

This is the person that you can go to if you require further information. They will help you to achieve your learning targets and goals, to ensure that you learn everything you need in order to take your next steps.

The staff in Student Services can also offer you career advice and help you with applying for University or your first job. They will give you lots of advice throughout the process of taking your next steps.

Our Learning Resource Centre also houses a wide selection of higher education prospectuses and has a dedicated careers area to help you look for job vacancies.

We also run an Employment Scheme which includes half price driving lessons for our 16 – 18 year old learners and our FREE College bus service can help you save up to £450 per year.

College is not as expensive as you may think.

If you are aged 16-18 at the start of the course you will pay no fees for your course. There may be additional costs during your course including trips, uniforms and activities – but we can often help with these.

For 19+ learners, depending on your individual situation, you may be able to get help with course fees.

If you are aged 24 or over you can now apply for a 24+ Loan to help with your studies. For more information visit our 24+ Loans page.

Bursary Fund

If you are aged 16-19 we can help you apply for a bursary fund which could help with the costs of the following:

Child care
Transport
Course fees
Equipment, uniform and any books you may need
Educational trips and other course related costs.

Make sure you ask about the Bursary Fund during your Welcome Afternoon! Or call 01480 379106.
